The Schulz Museum is excited to offer in-person camps at the Museum starting July 6. The health and safety of camp participants and staff is our top priority. In planning for this year’s camp season, we have taken direction from the CDC, the Sonoma County Health Services Department, and our state and local authorities. While it should be noted that complete elimination of risk is not possible, the Schulz Museum is committed to implementing the safest protocols to mitigate the spread of COVID19 and provide a low-risk camp environment for all concerned.
