Sounded like what camp is supposed to be. A time to be outside and enjoy new activities and meet new people.

The confidence building, the emphasis on core values and the chance to just be a kid

My kids love everything. I like hearing all the different activities they get to do.

So many activities for kids!

Friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff. The Drive thru open house was awesome and got my kids EXCITED for camp!

YMCA Camp Thunderbird is a safe place for my children during the summer, provides activities all day long to include swim lessons, has awesome staff who lead adventures, and keeps my children engaged and happy. My children have made many friends and think their counselors and life guards are wonderful. My children enjoy the activities offered at CTB and have stepped out of their comfort zone many times with the encouragement of their counselors. Each summer at CTB, my children grow and learn. We plan to attend CTB for many years and have recommended many friends along the way.

Transportation, variety of activities, safe policies

I love the my kids are active and outdoor! The break from electronics is much needed!

My kids love it!

Lots of outdoor time and physical activities. Both of my children have made great friends they look forward to seeing each summer. They wake up excited to go to camp each day! As a parent the transportation from our local Y to CT is a HUGE help. I also love the friendships they have made and the role models they are with. My son is in the LIT program this year, my daughter cannot wait to also do it. My son plans on being a lifeguard at CT asap and my daughter plans on being a counselor at CT.

My child has already asked to go back next summer at the age of 14 when other things could be “more cool”. That speaks volumes!
