About Camp Winnarainbow

For 50 years, kids, teens and adults have run away to join the circus at Camp Winnarainbow in beautiful Mendocino County. Campers choose from activities including trapeze, juggling, clowning, unicycling, songwriting, and more. A day begins with a morning reading by Wavy Gravy or another camp leader, including poetry, stories, and daily meditations from texts written by Thich Nhat Hanh, Gary Larson, Pablo Neruda, and others. Drawing from a deep well of performing arts education and strong community building, CWR’s talented staff teaches timing, balance and as Wavy Gravy says, “Survival in the 21st century or how to duck with a sense of humor and a dollop of compassion.” Camp Winnarainbow has a remarkable scholarship program, making it a haven for economically disadvantaged kids and kids of rockstars alike; “Kids from every walk of life come together and make a kind of a universal whole at Camp. Everybody gets something from each other and we end up being a community together and filled with love and wonder.”
