YMCA Camp Shaver Reviews

My son was a camper last year and us an LIT this year. We are fortunate to have this camp nearby! Highly recommended!

This was my daughter's first year to attend Camp Shaver & we were so impressed! I spoke to the director before we registered her and he took lots of time to address my concerns and questions. Never made me feel like I was bothering him! Kiddo had a wonderful time and has already begged to go again next year. I wish we could afford to send her more than one week!!!

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!!

My daughter loves it here. She wants to go back again next year.

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!

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.
