My boys love this camp- the office staff is so kind and helpful, opening council is a hit, the activities are engaging-- 10/10!

My son came home with a new story about how he pushed himself and do something new, some things that were outside his comfort zone. You were able to match him with two of his best friends too. He had a great time. All three want to go back!

There seemed to be quite a bit of options to pick from which was nice! but the camp needs to include more indoor activities so kids can take a break from the heat.

Feedback: my son‘s counselor did not help him put on sunscreen one particular day and rushed him to the pool. And he did not get any assistance with getting in the shade and overheated a couple of times.

I like that this program has been around a very long time. My 11 year old boy has turned more into an outdoor kid thanks to Camp thunderbird.

My husband and I appreciate the fact that our daughter is exposed to different activities throughout the day. She comes home exhausted and that’s the plan.

The EveryBuddy Camp has been great about trying to accommodate my camper, despite his challenging behaviors. I appreciate Luke, JT, and the other counselors for working with us to provide a successful experience.

My kids loved Aquazip and "normal zip line". Except that my daughter said she only got one chance to do alpine tower and she was late that day, so she missed it.

They also really enjoyed archery and swimming in the pool! (especially during the heat wave).

The overall structure with groups and fun counselors is just really, really great. We will definitely be returning to Camp Thunderbird!

Tane was great at p/u and d/o - very quick to load and unload two busses of kids in a very timely fashion. And Larry as a bus driver - always on time and very friendly! Very comfortable with him driving my kids up and down 288!

From camper: “I love every activity!” “Counselors are great, activities are great, tons of friends!” “Everyone is nice and I got to do things I haven’t done before!” “The LITs were great and lunch was great” “10/10 would recommend to anyone”

My grandchildren loved camp and all the outdoor activities.

I do want to say the LIT youth were disrespectful used foul language littered and were a terrible example

This was my son's 2nd time attending this camp and he loved it once again! I especially appreciated the new location for dropoff/pickup at Maybeury Elementary. Last year it was a bit chaotic with the other camps at the Tuckahoe Y.

Highly organized and structured. Very professional. Great price! And it was the appropriate length of the day - it was long enough for parents to not have to take off to pick up and drop off. Well done.

My daughter has absolutely loved Camp Thunderbird. Every day she is excited to tell me what she did. She even said that she wished she had gone in years past. I would readily recommend it to others.
