Far and away, my girls would love most the independence that sleep away camp offers. Being on their own in a cabin, meeting new friends and experiencing new activities would challenge and expand them.
My daughter would love to attend Camp Thunderbird this summer. I think the activities she would like the most are the water activities, the pool, and the zip line. It all sounds so wonderful.
my little daredevil will love this camp – high ropes and horseback riding i think will be her favourites, but paddleboarding for sure is high on her list of skills to cultivate. Thank you for this opportunity
My kid would love the wakesports!
My son would love the zip line!
I also have no idea how to post something on instagram…

My son has been wanting to go to camp for years. He will love the whole sleep away from home experience, but I think he will honestly love everything about it as well.
She would probably most enjoy the water sports and horseback riding
My daughter would love the swimming and the horseback riding the most.

Where do I begin?!?! My kids – ages 8 and nearly 6 – started talking about Camp Thunderbird around October and wanted to know when the summer comes again so that they can go back to Thunderbird. Their summer memories are including happy weeks at Thunderbird – their favorite camp activities might be a strong tie between the banana boat, swimming in the lake and the pool, making some really cool arts and crafts, and lots of new friends. It is heart-warming to pull up to Thunderbird and let my kids out on their first morning with the biggest smiles on their faces and huge hugs to the counselors greeting them at our car. My little Thunderbird campers are like ambassadors telling their baby sister and friends from faraway how amazing Camp Thunderbird is and even cooler, that it is practically in our backyard.
We have lived here for 14 years and never have been the Camp Thunderbird‼️ I know my child would love it there. All the outdoor activities she loves. The chance to make new friends and skill I am not able to teach her. Camp Thunderbird is a perfect place to enjoy the outdoor living she really enjoys ‼️😊
My son will love the independence of attending Camp Thunderbird. He is an only child, so I think he will most enjoy the friendships he develops while there!
My son ( age 8) has been talking about Camp Thunderbird for MONTHS! He loves all of the water activities, arts and crafts, and friendships that last a lifetime!
Either of my girls would love Camp Thunderbird from drop off to pick up! Both have been to day camps there and have loved it! They would love a week without their mom too!!!
She would love all the water activities.
Either one of my kiddos would love an opportunity.
They would love it all!!
Mine would love the water activities!!
My kids are a little wary of stay away camp – my oldest, a twin did a camp with scouts last year and loved it. he would thrive in this environment where everyone is on the same level. It would really be a growth opportunity for a kid that takes time to make friends and can be shy. I hope you’ll pick me and give him this chance. 🙂
My son would love to spend a week at this fabulous place camp thunderbirds have everything
