Hummingbird Music Camp Fundraiser

This year marked Hummingbird Music Camp’s 62nd summer, and due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was the first time since 1959 that they were unable to welcome any campers, counselors, teachers, or staff.  Initially, only the first few weeks of camp were cancelled, while the camp made changes and plans that would allow operation in compliance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines; however, due to the increase in cases in New Mexico in late June, the remainder of the 2020 season had to be cancelled. 
 
I was a camper at Hummingbird over 30 years ago, and I remember how much I loved spending time there. We came to Hummingbird for the music, and also got to hike in the mountains, swim in the river, listen to stories, make and spend time with friends.  By expanding the offerings to include art and chess, the camp’s community has grown, providing a solid foundation for the future.  I want Hummingbird to remain a fixture in New Mexico for generations, giving campers experiences like so many of us were lucky to have. 
 
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to assist the Higgins family in keeping the Hummingbird Music Camp afloat following the cancellation of the 2020 season, and donated funds will be used towards the camp’s operations and maintenance expenses.  Please join us in our efforts to ensure that the camp is able to operate for many years to come.
