My family and I have enjoyed the program!

It was very organized, great communication and my two kids really enjoyed having a traditional summer camp experience

The variety of activities, the fun themes (that the counselors get into too!), and the ease of transportation.

There are a lot of activities for the kids to do. The staff is incredibly supportive and friendly.

Amazing camp. My two kids enjoyed all the activities, the new friendships and the camp coordinators. They spoke about how each day was their best day yet on the ride back home. My older kid, 10 years old, at first was not happy that I enrolled him and advised "adventure stuff" would not be a good use of his time :). The same kid was all smiles everyday after the camp and was asking me if I could extend his time there after the first week. 5 stars and we will be back next year. Keep up the good work YMCA

My son loves Camp Thunderbird!

Big fan of CTB. I love the everybody program. It is so hard to get programs for children with diverse abilities. Keep it up! There is a large community of families out there that could use a program like this.

My daughter loved it and wants to go back! I love that she gets to do activities she wouldn't normally get a chance to do like canoeing, ziplining, etc.

Ziplines, canoeing and kayaking, alpine tower

My kids had so much fun at all the different activities but the one thing they boasted about the most was the Aqua Zip. They had so much fun on it!

I love that each day has fun and interesting activities that my kids actually come home TALKING about. I hear story after story after story about how my daughter climbed the Alpine tower and got to ring the bell! And how my son skimmed the water during Aqua-Zip. And my daughter taught us how to make the bracelets they learned in Art. My kids just LOVE Camp Thunderbird!

The experience was fantastic ! just like the previous 2 years.
The only thing I can think of is that things that belong to the children dissappear. My daughter had her things like water bottle and towel with her name on it and they were never in the lost and found. We don't know if other children are taking them, but the camp should take care of this.

Rowan had a great time! I love the range of activities that he got to do and the relationships that he got to make. Great value and would definitely do it again.

I like how you, can register and pay weekly without being forced into a contract.

My child loves playing Ga Ga Ball with his friends, and as a parent I love the wide variety of outdoor activities. It feels like a classic summer camp experience! My child likes his counselors and the staff all seem great. We love Thunderbird!

The variety, however I was disappointed that you don’t have a good swimming program for the kids st the camp Thunderbird.

My child has really enjoyed camp activities.

Best camp there is!

It is just the best. My kids talk about their counselors and how much they like them. They have made great friends and come home tiredvand dirty. Its perfect

Love that it’s a variety of different activities that keep the kids happy and entertained all week. My daughter loves Camp Thunderbird!

The logistics with the bus, always on time and caring staff !

I love the transportation and the activities for the kids. The counselors are great too!

My daughter enjoys the multiple activities offered. She does however hate being out in the sun.😂

The transportation, the staff, the age appropriate kid activities, the swim lessons- my kids loved it all!

Everything!

Length of time

The program help students develop social skills. Physical activities for the students to stay active. The counselors are very positive and hands-on with the students.. Ms Bailey is like a second mother to my son she really has been a true blessing in our lives. Nasir really respects her and listens to Ms Bailey.

I like the variety that my son gets to participate in. Don't ask me what he does because he's 6 and getting information out of him is like pulling teeth, but he comes home happy and tired after the day is over.

The activities are fun and keep the kids engaged in nature and physical activity and also promotes team spirit and interaction.

Both of my daughters love all the activities as well as all the counselors!
