Review of YMCA Camp Thunderbird

From the moment you enter Camp Thunderbird you can sense what an amazing place this is and how much fun your children will have attending camp here. If I was young enough I know I would want to go! They have all kinds of water sports from canoeing, tubing, the banana boat which was one of my son's favorites and more. A myriad of land activities, good food, campfire activities such as skits, the talent show, a field party etc. The one complaint I have is that the older boys cabins are VERY outdated and need rebuilding. They are open air cabins, which means no air conditioning and also no restrooms in them either. I can see how this may deter the 13-16 year old boys (sometimes 12 y/o's) thinking of going here. As much money as campers pay to attend camp here I feel they owe it to the kids to do this improvement and that it would be a win-win as it would potentially increase the number of campers and subsequently their profits. Otherwise this is an excellent camp full of learning opportunities, fun, and amazing childhood memories.
