Overview
For families seeking an oasis of understanding, acceptance, and fun for their special need kids, Camp Thunderbird offers a safe haven. Shaped by the challenges presented by Down syndrome, autism, Cerebral Palsy, and other developmental disabilities, this camp presents an opportunity otherwise missing in the traditional camping circuit.
Camp Thunderbird goes beyond the ordinary, fostering an environment where everyone belongs, and every accomplishment is celebrated. With a choice of six or 12-day overnight sessions, the camp aims to provide an unforgettable experience to every camper. And while the children are having a ball, parents and guardians can enjoy a well-deserved break, knowing their loved ones are in caring hands.
This is more than just an escape from the daily grind of caregiving; it's a rare chance for parents to rejuvenate, reconnect with friends, or even take a worry-free vacation. For many, it's the first opportunity to do so, instilling a sense of relief that their precious ones are receiving the highest quality of care and attention.
Camp Thunderbird truly offers an enriching experience that champions the special and celebrates the extraordinary. It's a place where kids can be kids, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. The magic of such an experience is that it doesn't just create memories, it also builds self-esteem, fosters friendships, and encourages independence - the real treasures of any camping adventure.
In the wilderness of life, Camp Thunderbird serves as a lighthouse, guiding and supporting families with special needs children, showing them that there's always room for joy, growth, and togetherness, even amidst challenges.
