Making music and summer fun in the mountains since 1959!

Welcoming children ages 8-14, Hummingbird Music Camp is a traditional summer camp that also delivers music, art and chess instruction in the natural, spiritual setting of the Jemez Mountains.

Campers feel empowered to step outside of their comfort zones and discover more of themselves, all the while gaining confidence and self-esteem. They hike in the moonlight, camp out in the open, sing and tell stories by a campfire, create skits with one another and participate in all manner of pleasurable activities that young people love.

Music Campers can improve their skills up to a year’s worth in one week at our camp. Daily private lessons, as well as small and large group rehearsals with their musical peers, build their confidence and performance abilities. Your child’s music lessons are tailored to their individual needs and desires.

Art Campers expand their creativity by undertaking an assortment of projects with diverse media. Each child works with professional art teachers who inspire ingenuity and creativity. Some campers will leave an indelible mark on camp by painting the buildings with murals and decorating camp with the fruits of their labor.

Expert Chess instructors help your child improve her or his game by teaching strategies for beginners to advanced players. Competition is friendly, with a tournament at the end of the week. Chess campers get to see how much they have improved their skills and medals are awarded for finishing 1st , 2nd or 3rd place.

We invite you to explore our website and find out how your child can come make music and have fun with us this summer!
