Camp Thunderbird Alumni,
Whether you were a camper, CIT, counselor, support staff member, or camp leader, Camp Thunderbird helped shape who you are today. It gave us friendships, confidence, memories, and lessons that have lasted a lifetime.
Now we have an opportunity to give those same experiences to a child who otherwise may not be able to attend camp.
The 48-Hour Challenge is raising funds for camp scholarships, ensuring that financial circumstances do not prevent a young person from experiencing the magic, growth, and belonging that camp provides.
For years, I've said that Camp Thunderbird alumni "touch the future." Every time we invest in camp, mentor a young person, volunteer our time, or make a gift, we are helping to shape the next generation. This is one more opportunity to pass it on.
If camp made a difference in your life, I hope you'll consider making a donation during the 48-Hour Challenge. Together, we can help more children discover the confidence, friendships, adventures, and life-changing moments that only camp can provide.
The future of camp is in our hands. Let's continue the tradition of service and ensure that every child has the opportunity to experience Camp Thunderbird.
❤️ Please consider making a gift today using the link below.

Camp Thunderbird's 48 Hour Giving Challenge is a powerful tradition rooted in generosity, community, and the shared belief that camp changes lives. As we celebrate Camp Thunderbird's 90th anniversary, we are rallying together to raise $100,000 to send 90 kids to camp this summer on scholarship.
