Planing on spending a month climbing this summer and looking for some places to spend a few weeks and find partners. What are some other good places besides Camp 4? Preferably with long trad routes and alpine climbing.

Noting the use of the word "summer", Camp 4 is an atrocious place to be in mid-summer. Hot! If you can get out there in early to mid June, then that would be good. Around Yosemite, Tuolomne is a more appropriate summertime spot.
If you want to do long trad routes on granite, go to Squamish. It is awesome, and the weather in July/August is great. Don't go in June; it can still be rainy then. The camping is great, there will be tons of people to climb with, and so on. Also, lots of people who are traveling around spend time in Squamish before heading to the Bugaboos. If you want to do some big alpine stuff in the Bugs, Squamish would be a good place to find a partner. So yeah, spend a few weeks in Squamish, find a solid partner, climb with them a bunch and get dialed in on long granite routes, and then go the the Bugs.
