About Camp Thunderbird for Girls
Our adventure programming is truly unique. Thunderbird is the place to find your next adventure. We start with the basics of camping so you’ll be ready for the first trip. Before departing, you’ll learn the skills you need to be safe and comfortable while you’re away, things like how to set up a tent, cook a meal, and roast a marshmallow over a campfire. If you’re interested in bigger experiences, you can backpack, bike, canoe, fish, rock climb, or sail on three to nine day long trips. When you become a seasoned camper, at age 14 to 16, you can choose to travel on multi-week adventure programs throughout the United States and Canada. Our wilderness program has something for everyone.
