Member Testimonials

The staff are very supportive and kind to children with differences.

Variety of activities, great staff, and such a classic summer camp experience. My child loved every day of camp!

My daughter enjoyed the diverse activities, the counselors and the camp site.

I like the communication between the camp and the parents. When my child had an issue they were quick to call and we resolved things together. I like that the camp gave my child a sense of independence and courage. He got to try things he thought he couldn't do. He said last year during zip line he cried the first time and teared up the second time. The third time he came back cheering that he didn't cry.

Zip line, fishing, kayak, canoes

The camp kept my daughter busy and encouraged outdoor activities that she looked forward to every week.

Great, well rounded

I appreciate the diversity of activities-there’s something for every kid, whether they like swimming or archery or art. It’s a low-stakes way for children to explore their interests, and gets them outside and interacting with each other. The counselors are also really great; my son always has one or two he forms a bond with, and it makes me feel good knowing he’s safe.

Engaging all day for active kids

Great variety of activities. Chance to hang out with friends.

Keeps the kids busy and active!

The activities are thoughtful and engaging.

I love how the staff keeps the kids engaged and the camp Director is so actively involved. It’s a very inclusive environment at Camp Thunderbird and areas for opportunities are addressed immediately.

I love that my son gets to be outside and try new things. I appreciate the ability for staff and fellow campers to keep him engaged and safe.

Great staff and so many great activities.

The best part is how much fun our kid has. The activities are so cool for him, things we wouldn’t typically do, like archery. I like that he gets a classic camp experience without the overnight part. The bus makes it so easy to get there.

My son absolutely enjoys them all. He liked the increased responsibility as an LIT and that kids looked up to him and appreciated his help.

A true outdoor summer camp experience. Gets kids outside and active. Also gets them socializing in real life.

My daughter loved it. she went for 2 weeks, and every day she came extremely happy !! She loved all the activities they did

Mi hija disfruta al máximo super divertida

My son has been going to Camp Thunderbird since he was 5 and has loved it every year and he’s 11 now! He is even interested in working there when he gets older! When he turned 8 they changed the age to 8 years old and I’m so glad he got to go there when he was younger. He loves all the outdoor activities and the councilors are so good with the kids!

Kids said they were able to try every activity! They came home off the bus all smiles every day!

My kids enjoyed the camp experience

Love that it is an outdoor day camp that brings me back to the 80s. Kids are physically challenged in experiences I can’t provide them and encouraged to preserve. Love this camp!

Outdoors, active and nature focused.
Easy drop off and pick up system.

My child loved all of the activities.

My kid loved the outdoors and in particular he loved boating. Based on what he shared, sounds like there wasn't an opportunity to circle back on some activities again during the week like the daily swimming.

My son truly loved the camp! Thank you!

My kids all had an amazing time !
