YMCA Camp Shaver

Since 1945, YMCA Camp Shaver has been providing quality fun & educational programs for the youth of New Mexico and the Southwest. Located in the Beautiful Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, Camp Shaver provides the youth of today a safe and awe-inspiring setting to develop self-esteem & personal character, learn teamwork, gain a sense of community, and develop an appreciation and respect for the environment. Join us for an experience that will last a lifetime.

Welcome to Camp Shaver! We offer rentals of our facilities based on availability and season. We are a facility that operates seasonally (warmer months), with our primary focus being on the summer program we run during Albuquerque Public School’s summer break. Camp Shaver is open to potential rentals in early May, and then again between August and mid-October (weather permitting).

We love our old camp and its facilities, we think you will too. However, it is important to know that we are more rustic and communal focused instead of resort or hotel style in our accommodations. This means that we have shared cabins, shared dining, and communal restrooms instead of private spaces.
