Find Out What A Day At Camp Thunderbird for Boys Looks Like

What does a day look like?

This is a hard question to answer since you might start out your first year in pottery and soccer and find yourself on a mountaintop in the Pacific Northwest by the end of your time at Thunderbird. While there is no such thing as a “typical” day at Thunderbird, here’s what a sample day looks like:

8:00amWake Up
Wake up to the morning bell, music and cabin conversation.
8:30amBreakfast
Get your day started right with a yummy hot meal, cereal or oatmeal.
9-10amCabin Clean-up
Your cabinmates and counselors work together to get the job done!
10:00amFirst Activity Period

11:05amSecond Activity Period

Chow down, share stories from the morning and get excited to sign up for tomorrow’s activities because you can change your activities each day!
1:30pmCabin Time or Bonus Activity Period
Depending on the day, there’s time to chill out or time for a bonus activity!
3:00pmThird Activity Period

4:05pmFourth Activity Period
Last but not least! Every activity period is fun.

6:00pmDinner

9:30-10pmBedtime
Fall into bed exhausted from a very full and very fun day. Tomorrow new adventures await!

And then there’s the days that are even less typical. Throughout the summer you will experience exciting events that make camp extra special.

SPECIALTY DAY:

Each week, campers and staff look forward to an all-camp, high-energy theme day called Specialty Day. The theme, activities and meals for the entire day are planned by campers. A few of our favorite themes from the past are Wild West, Pirates, Circus, Knights of the Round Table and the annual Fourth of July Celebration.

ADVENTURE DAY:

Each week on Adventure Day, you venture out of camp and visit nearby attractions like the headwaters of the Mississippi River, a turn of the century logging camp, or one of Minnesota’s many beautiful beaches.

TRIBAL PERIODS:

Twice a week in place of an activity period, each cabin group participates in a Tribal. You and your cabin mates get to choose your tribal activity. There are endless opportunities for fun and adventure! Some favorites are making homemade ice cream, tubing behind the ski boat, or having fun on the waterfront.

EVENING PROGRAMS:

Every night, after dinner, the day’s excitement continues with an Evening Program. Each week we have a campfire with s’mores. On other nights we play dodgeball or capture the flag, participate in relay races with varying twists or have a friendly lip sync competition. Sometimes, we even dress staff up as our favorite superhero and have a show. Evening programs are always different and guaranteed to end in laughter, high fives and wonderful memories.
