Member Testimonials

The counselors were great with the kids! They loved all the activities.

The counselors seem to take their jobs seriously and really make it fun for the kids. My son especially loves marksmanship. He has a great time.

Its great that the Y runs a program that gets kids outside all day and out from in front of screens. In the summer, kids should smell like dirt, sweat, chlorine, and sunscreen and every day its like a nostalgic "whoosh" back to my own childhood when my son gets in the car.

The staff is amazing. Our 2 boys have a great time and have enjoyed even the rainy camp weeks. The activities are engaging and challenging, the campers and staff are supportive and help to instill values into our boys. We are grateful for the opportunity our boys have to learn and grow through their camp experience.

Variety of activities, wonderful staff, hours, location

This was my son’s first time at CampThunderbird and he loved it. He enjoyed all of the activities offered, especially the zip line and lake activities. He can’t wait to go back again next year.

My child has the MOST fun!

I live the LiT program. It’s a great opportunity for my son to practice leadership skills!

Loved the swimming and zip lining. As a parent it would be nice if the locations knew a little more about Thunderbird to help parents with questions before camp starts.

The nature activities and that kids do things not screen related or digital. I like that they get experiences like archery with real instruction.
My 13 year old son gives it a 10 out of 10.

Kids loved it! Lots of fun, adventurous activities for them. Aqua zip was awesome

My daughter gave this score

The zip line wa Amy kid’s favorite

Zip, aqua zip, BB guns - love that kids are outside trying new activities, developing skills, making friends and are tired when they get home!

I love camp thunderbird for my son! He is engaged and active all throughout the day learning new skills all while having lots of fun. Before camp thunderbird my son didn’t really like engaging in crowds. He was very shy… camp thunderbird has brought out the confident leader in him.

I love that they are outdoors and they are a variety of different things, not just one thing.

1. There were a variety of programs, which kept the children fully engaged.
2. The staff was very helpful and involved during all the activities.
3. The children learnt some new skills like fishing, which otherwise we probably would have never explored.

My child always came home happy and tired and woke early excited to return!

Everything is great. Love all outside activities.

variety of activities, timeliness of transportation, engaged counselors

My child really enjoyed the camp.

My son had a great time! Respectful and fun counselors, no one was pushy or mean. He was happy to go every day, and I am definately going to bring him back.

My daughter love Camp Thunderbird and has a great time.

Variety of fun activities and each day is different and has new challenges. Swim lessons. Bus pickup and drop off

My kids thoroughly enjoy the Camp. Unfortunately, my 8 year old has learned every cuss word in the book there this summer.

Very organized and clear instructions. My boys loved the variety of activities.

All outside activities

The camp keeps my kids active and engaged, more so than the regular day camps

As a parent, I know the programs and activities are a hit when my kids come home from camp singing new songs and playing new games. The kids love learning new activities like archery and marksmanship. I like that they're exposed to new ways of relating to each other and their environment.

I loved the easy going swimming lessons. My son felt no pressure, but improved.
