Camp is a constantly evolving environment, and we are located in a beautiful area of the Jemez Mtns, but this means that maintenance and preparation is essential. Our facility has been in operation since 1945 and has a complex history of buildings/renovations and updates that has left it in a place that needs a lot of care. We don't expect you to know how to fix everything, but we do need you to be flexible and learn as you go if you lack the skills at the start.

Our goal is to provide all of our campers and staff with an experience that will last them a lifetime. As a childcare facility that is located primarily in the outdoors this requires us to be constantly checking that we are keeping them happy and healthy through proper cleaning of our facilities, and maintenance of anything that breaks or malfunctions quickly.
