Making music and summer fun in the mountains since 1959!

Welcoming children ages 8-14, Hummingbird Music Camp is a summer camp that develops, not only skills in, but also a love for music, art and chess in the beautiful Jemez Mountains.

Campers gain invaluable instruction, confidence and experiences. They hike in the moonlight, camp out in the open, sing and tell stories by a campfire, create skits with one another and make life-long friendships!

There are three options for campers:

Music Campers can improve their skills up to a year’s worth in one week at camp! Campers receive daily private lessons from professional music teachers, participate in band/guitar/orchestra/piano group rehearsals, and have designated practice time. Music camp is wonderful for all campers, from those who are just beginning/do not have any music experience to those who are advanced. Music camp is offered all 9 weeks of the summer!

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. Art camp is offered for 6 of the 9 weeks of the summer!

Chess campers, from beginning to advanced, receive expert instruction and strategies that help them improve their game. Competition is friendly. With a tournament at the end of the week, chess campers get to see how much they have improved their skills. Medals are awarded for finishing 1st , 2nd or 3rd place. Chess camp is offered for 1 of the 9 weeks of the summer!

We invite you to explore our website to see which week(s) your camper would like to attend!
