Get a feeling for life at Camp Thunderbird for Girls

Where will I be living?

Walk into a camp “village” and you will find girls playing tetherball, weaving friendship bracelets or singing their favorite camp songs. A village consists of cabins filled with six to ten cabin-mates of the same age with a minimum of three counselors living in separate quarters within the cabin. A cluster of cabins makes up a “village” and each village has a Head Counselor, whose only job is to make sure that life in the village is running smoothly. There’s also a bathroom in the cabin and a central washhouse in each village. Inside the cabin, you will find bunk beds and personal cubbies for your clothes and other belongings. Friendships begin in the cabins as you live in close quarters with other girls. There’s nothing like the experience of living with your friends!

Who Are My New Cabin-mates

We believe close friendships are best forged in small groups. Your cabin size, including you, will never exceed ten campers. Half season and full season campers live in separate cabins within the village. This allows you to start and finish the season without the disruption of campers arriving and departing. If you’re new to Thunderbird, don’t worry! Lots of girls join us without a friend from home. This is why we carefully create cabin groups that are a mix of new and returning campers and limit the number of campers from one school or suburb.

Daily activities, evening programs, Specialty and Adventure days also provide the perfect opportunity to spend time and grow friendships with younger and older girls in the Thunderbird community.

What are counselors like?

Meet your new big sister. You can count on counselors to help you with anything and everything you need. Counselors are generally high school or college students who are passionate about working with kids, and about Thunderbird. Counselors travel to camp from all across the country and the world. Want to learn to talk like someone from England? Your counselor might be able to help! You just might be a future T-bird counselor yourself.

What’s the food like?

After a busy day full of sunshine, activities and friendship, you settle into the lodge for a family style dinner. Every camper looks forward to the relaxing and fun meals at camp. Three times a day you will have a chance to connect with cabin mates, share stories, and of course sing some favorite camp songs while eating in the lodge. There are lots of yummy options. See below for a sample menu.
