Traditional Camp (7-14 yrs.)

Climbing Camp (12-15 yrs.)

1 week program.  Increase your    climbing skills (or learn new ones!) on our climbing wall and high ropes course. Then, take what you’ve learned and apply it to bouldering, climbing and rappelling on day trips in the Santa Fe National Forest.

Leader-In-Training (15 yrs.)

3-week program. Spend the first week learning new skills like First Aid & CPR, and effective leadership   techniques. Then hit the trail with new friends and mentors for a 4-day backpacking trip. Finally, spend a week in cabins helping the counselors and leading activities.

Counselor-In-Training (16 yrs.)

Volunteer for up to 4 weeks. Live in a cabin, shadow a counselor, and learn how to lead activities. Have a blast with fellow CITs and make a difference in someone’s life.

Family Camp, May 26-28

Bring the whole family to camp! Traditionally held on Memorial Day weekend, Family Camp offers three days of family fun and adventure (or rest and relaxation- you choose!) Family camp is a great way to spend some time together, or to ‘test-drive’ camp to give potential summer campers a confidence boost!

Gluten-Free Family Camp, July 9-13

Spend a week in the beautiful Jemez Mountains experiencing all that camp has to offer without having to cook or to wonder “Can I eat that?” This week, we’ll take camp food to a whole other level, offering healthy, completely gluten-free meals with vegetarian, dairy-free, and soy-free options. Learn new, delicious recipes to try at home, take part in workshops and classes, try all our exciting activities and day trips, and relax in the knowledge that you don’t have to worry about what you or your kids are eating. *This camp is open to everyone, whether you have food sensitivities or not! However, all food will be gluten-free.

Alumni Weekend, May 19-20

Reconnect with old camp friends and counselors at Camp Shaver! All the traditional camp activities will be offered, along with some new ones. Bring photos, Rags, and other camp memorabilia to share, and have a blast renewing those awesome memories of camp.

*Can’t make it? Please consider making a personal donation! All proceeds from the weekend go directly to our scholarship fund in order to give as many children as possible the experience of a lifetime.
