A Santa Cruz municipal ordinance specifically states that quiet hours are between 10PM and 8AM, 7 days a week.  During these hours, we do not allow amplified sound outside of camp buildings—this includes sound systems, musical instruments and yelling, screaming or singing loudly.  Indoor amplification is okay, as long as the volume does not exceed 45 decibels and does not continue after 12AM. Guests are liable for any/all fines or complaints filed while on site. Please ask our Wedding Coordinator for more information regarding YMCA Camp Campbell’s noise policy.

We understand you and your wedding guests want the most out of your wedding weekend so at the start of the 10PM quiet hours we allow for activities to continue in our Fireside Room in the dining hall until 12AM. At 12AM all music and noise must stop completely, guests who are not sleeping on site must leave the premises and on-site guests must return to their cabins for the night.
