Update Friday, June 26:
The area has received three good downpours of rain, which has been a welcome help. Some of the recent growth you may have seen is actually due to intentional suppression burns by firefighters to help control and contain the fire. Hotshot crews are currently working along the south and southwest edges, strengthening those containment lines.
​
Camp operations are continuing as normal, and campers are doing well and staying safe.
​
We are so grateful for the firefighters, Hotshots, and all Forest Service personnel working tirelessly on this fire—their dedication and hard work mean so much to our community. We’ll continue to keep a close eye on conditions and share updates as we have them.

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.
