Member Testimonials
The facility is well maintained and provides lots of opportunities for campers to stretch their comfort zones and develop, The counselors are top notch and engage with the campers in a positive context.
There is so much for my son to do there and he enjoys the camp immensely!
The activities are really cool for kids
Child loved it! Wore him out!
I like that camps are offered for older kids. My son enjoys being an LIT and looks forward to working for Camp next summer.
My daughter had the best time. She loved all the activities. The staff was super friendly. She is going back again in August. She loved the ideas of being awarded beads for good deeds!
My daughter absolutely loved all activities, particularly the archery. She had so much fun with her counselor Emily. She also enjoyed the zip line and practicing her diving. I was shocked everyday that she got off the bus with so much enthusiasm since it was a long day! I have no complaints at all about the camp; in fact, I think we are sure we are going to sign up next year!
I would have given the camp a 10, but the sign- up process was a bear. I think that needs to be changed. Getting the forms "approved" was tedious. The system needs to be a bit more refined.
We LOVE how inclusive the YMCA is for kids of every ability! Camp EveryBuddy is so life-giving for our daughter and our family! It allows her to have a camp experience just like her typical peers. She will be 14 this month and being with her friends and counselors is tremendously important; she is growing in her social skills, gaining self-confidence, broadening her circle with new activities and has a safe and nurturing environment to gain more independence. The entire EveryBuddy staff has been so attentive, encouraging and enthusiastic. You are ALL inspirational in your leadership and execution of this fantastic summer camp! We are so very blessed to be a part of the YMCA Camp EveryBuddy family!
My kids have been going to thunderbird for years. They enjoy all the activities and staff.
Structured and varied activities. My son has been so engaged and excited to attend this summer, so whatever changes you all made, please keep it up!
Kept children active at their desired activity level and appreciated the different social wants and needs of each individual camper as always a stellar job.
My boys are having the best time in a safe structured environment! The counselors are fun, energetic role models. I’m extremely impressed with the positive attitude my son brings home that has struggled in the past with social situations. He truly feels a connection & that he fits in! It’s such a relief to send them off in the morning knowing they will be having a great time in a learning environment while Im at work. My kids are getting the exercise they need and having a blast!! I love that electronics aren’t used to entertain them!! Amazing outdoor activities and overall great learning experience!!
We live Camp Thunderbird!
Great counselors and great activities all day!
My video gamer kid LOVED Camp Thunderbird and this mama loved that it kept him entertained and detached from screens for a whole week! He came home hungry, tired and excited for the next day's activities.
I like all of the activities, especially fishing, boating, and zip line
Smaller groups and lots of traditional summer camp activities. Our camper had a blast.

I love everything about the camp and my daughter does too. She ask every year when the summer arrives to go. She makes friend and looks for them again when the summer comes back around. Plus I love that it keeps her doing more then being on her phone all the time
they push my kids out of their comfort zones without making them uncomfortable
My daughter rated Camp Thunderbird a 10 out of 10. Her favorite was the aqua-line! She loved her counselors and new camp friends. She came home absolutely wiped (in a good way) at the end of each day!
