THE CAMP
Hummingbird Music Camp was founded in 1959 by K.L. and Wanda Higgins. Together they built a lasting tradition of a place for a quiet getaway without interference. 

Hummingbird is owned and managed by the Higgins family with a staff of 10 people.

FEES
All fees vary according to the services and accommodations you request and are quoted when you make your reservation. To receive your quote please phone 1-505-829-3060, FAX 1-505-829-3226 or email us at group@hummingbirdmusiccamp.org.

A deposit of $100.00 is required to confirm your reservation and is not refundable, unless your cancellation allows us the opportunity to rebook the dates. 

ACTIVITIES
Play basketball, volleyball or soccer in the open field. Take a dip in Ye Olde Swimming Hole, if you dare. Down by the river there is a fire pit around which to sing songs, tell tall tales or devour s’mores. If it is not otherwise in use, 100 feet north of North Campus there is a large covered space to enjoy the outdoors. 

Fishing can be found in many areas along the river, with good spots for fly fishing as well as deep holes where you might catch one of the big ones that lie on the bottom. The river is stocked monthly for good fishing to keep or catch and release.

There are a variety of hiking trails around the camp. A walk along the tree lined road that follows the river (with gradual ups and downs) takes about twenty minutes to reach Camp Shaver Meadow. Day or night hikes to the waterfall usually take one and a half hours round trip. A more difficult hike is the Fossil Hike that leads up a rocky canyon with a small creek that’s large enough to slip into and get your feet wet. At the end of the canyon you can search for the many fossils that are tucked away in the rocks for safe keeping. Try to imagine how and when they got there. This hike takes approximately one and a half hours. The Fox Trot hike to the upper cliffs overlooking the valley and camp is even more difficult. Both of these trails are steep and narrow in spots and require good hiking boots and some hiking skills. Don’t forget to take drinking water and your camera as you go exploring.
