Camp Shaver is a extremely well run camp for children and teenagers both. The staff are completely devoted to providing a fun ,high-quality experience for the campers. I have volunteered at camp Shaver for 12 years and it is always one of the best weeks of my year!!

Our oldest went to camp here for many years and our youngest son just started Camp Shaver. The staff and camp experience is wonderful, building social skills and self confidence. And the Jemez mountains are absolutely beautiful!

Watch out for shady Jémez Pueblo. Received a speeding ticket for 40MPH in a 30 MPH area. No signage clearly visible in area. Camp shaver is nice but I would avoid area. Several friends have been ticketed there. I guess it's the main revenue source for them. I will be avoiding going through the Pueblo ever again. Also, two cars ahead of me passed the officer at similar speed,never braked and we're not pulled over. I am happy to slow down in an area with children and pedestrians and it would be nice for the Pueblo to put up reduce speed signage on the north end the Jémez Pueblo like they put approaching from the south.

My daughter has came to this camp since 2014. Every summer she winds up staying additional weeks. Last year, she stayed 5 weeks and I had to prey her away. This is a very safe and engaging camp. The staff are well trained and always have your child's safety on their mind while making sure they are fully engaged and having a blast in their activities! My daughter's love for the outdoors grows with every camp visit. She has developed some great friendships along with skill sets she never realized she possessed. She's already making goals to be a camp leader next summer. Great place, great people!!

Great place. Amazing and positive staff. I was extremely impressed with their staff mentorship program. They literally breed their positive culture. My son returned home more mature and independent. I could see his personal growth. He was extremely home sick and does not want to return again next year because of this. I'm hoping he reconsiders when the time comes.
