For over sixty years, Camp Shi’ini has provided active and entertaining camp activities for boys and girls without a prolonged absence from home. Our goal is to provide an enjoyable and safe environment for children, while also educating them about Native American folklore through interactive and action-packed surroundings. We are the “ultimate camping experience” in the greater Pasadena area. Since 1947, Camp Shi’ini has developed an outstanding legacy, creating childhood memories bound to last a lifetime. It is truly an experience that captivates the hearts and imaginations of every camper. We are proud to invite you to join us for our best season yet.







Camp Shi’ini is a Native American Indian themed day camp that lasts five weeks each summer. Shi’ini, pronounced “Shee-nee,” is a Navajo word meaning “Summer People.” The camp is for children ages 4 through 12. Our theme is portrayed in several daily events, including: horseback riding, fishing, canoeing, archery, bear hunting, athletics, hiking, games, crafts, swimming, and an extraordinary month-long treasure hunt adventure! While at camp, the children are broken into various groups according to their ages. Each of these groups functions as a separate unit throughout the day. There are a dozen groups, each composed of 12 campers and 2 counselors. Our 6:1 camper-to-counselor-ratio is one of the very best throughout all of Los Angeles and Southern California!
