Update: We continue to monitor the McCauley Fire near Jemez Springs and want to reassure our Hummingbird Music Camp families that camp remains safe and is operating as usual. We are in regular communication with local authorities. Nearby areas, including La Cueva and Jemez Springs, are currently being used to support evacuation efforts, but there is no risk to camp at this time. The safety of our campers and staff remains our top priority, and we will share updates as needed.
Update: Hummingbird remains safe. The fire is still heading away from us. The HWY 4 closure and evacuations are northeast of Hummingbird. We are keeping a close watch and are in direct communication with forest services.

About Hummingbird Music Camp
Nestled by the Jemez River in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, Hummingbird Music Camp gives every child an opportunity to grow as an individual, a team player and as a fine musician under the guidance of a talented and nurturing staff.
​
This safe and lovingly structured social environment provides a home away from home for children to express themselves and their talents. This is accomplished through hard work, practice, and bonding with new friends.
Removed from city congestion and distractions, children have the opportunity to sleep in a dorm with their new buddies; breathe clean, fresh air in these breathtakingly glorious mountains; sing crazy camp songs; listen to the tall tales told around the campfire; go on overnight hikes; and dance. In addition, there’s game night, skit night, concerts, playing in the river, and fishing.
