Our Mission
Since 1947, Camp Shi’ini has provided active and entertaining camp activities for boys and girls without a prolonged absence from home. We are the “ultimate camping experience” in the greater Pasadena area. Over the course of 63 years, Camp Shi’ini has developed an outstanding legacy by creating childhood memories bound to last a lifetime. Camp Shi’ini prides itself on enthralling adventures, which captivate the hearts and imaginations of our campers, each summer. Everyone from our first-year campers to our veteran campers is totally hooked on Camp Shi’ini! While our adventures are always changing our goals remain the same. Our aim is to provide an enjoyable and safe environment for children, while also educating them about Native American folklore through interactive and action-packed surroundings. Camp Shi’ini strives to promote fair play, teach campers the value of working together through team activities, and most importantly — good old fashioned, outdoor summer fun!

Camp Theme
Camp Shi’ini is a Native American Indian-themed day camp that lasts 5 weeks each summer. Shi’ini, pronounced “Shee-nee,” is a Navajo word meaning “Summer People.” The camp is for boys and girls ages 4 through 13. At Camp Shi’ini, our theme is conveyed through truly unique activities that campers can’t find at home or school, including: horseback riding, fishing, canoeing, archery, bear hunting, athletics, hiking, American Indian crafts, swimming, and an extraordinary month-long treasure hunt adventure!
