Hi,
As you've probably already discovered, such programs that take place
in August are hard to come by. Nearly all summer academic programs,
especially those at colleges and universities, take place in June and
July. By August, the colleges are either starting the new school year
or getting ready for it.
Even so, I have found a number of workshops and classes, which are
listed below.
Squaw Valley Community of Writers Workshops
http://www.squawvalleywriters.org/
Bay Area Writing Workshops
http://www.sfstation.com/literaryarts/workshops.htm
Algonkian Authors
http://webdelsol.com/Algonkian
Circle C Writing Ranch
http://www.writingacademy.com/
Black Writers Reunion and Conference
http://www.blackwriters.org/conference/
Book Passage Writers' Conference
http://www.bookpassage.com/
East of Eden Writers Conference
http://www.southbaywriters.com/
If you wish to find more, I have three suggestions. Many of those I
have listed I found at The Guide to Writers Conferences & Workshops.
You can find writing-related events sorted by country, state, month
and genre. The events I found through searches elsewhere were also
listed here, so the directory appears to be quite thorough.

You can also search on Google with this search term, or variations:
"creative writing" summer classes california august
://www.google.com/search?q=%22creative+writing%22+summer+classes+california+august
You might also check the regularly updated listings provided by Artist
Resource, a northern California site dedicated to keeping writers and
various kinds of artists informed about events.

I hope this helps,
