Camp Thunderbird Charitable Foundation

Camp Thunderbird Charitable Foundation The Foundation was created in 1970 by a group of former Camp Thunderbird (MN) campers who understood the value of a summer camp experience.

Please help us make that experience available to kids who otherwise would not have the means to attend summer camp.

Camp is where kids discover things they didn’t know about themselves — that they’re braver than they thought, that they belong somewhere, that they have something worth teaching the kid sitting next to them. Your gift makes that discovery possible for a kid who couldn’t otherwise be here.

We’re down to the final hours of our Fuel the Journey 2026 campaign, and we’re over 70% of the way there! Help us get to our goal by the end of the night by donating at the link in our bio.

For so many kids, the only thing standing between them and a summer at camp is cost. Austin Sunshine Camps removes that barrier — and your gift to the Camp Thunderbird Charitable Foundation is part of how it happens. Worries left behind. Independence found. Friends made for life. The summer every kid deserves, no matter what their family can afford.

Today is the final day of our Fuel the Journey campaign for this year! Help us get to our goal of $130,000.

Council Fire is where camp slows down. A guitar, a flame, a circle of friends — and the quiet feeling that anything is possible. Generations of campers have carried this moment home with them. Our campaign is your chance to put another kid in that circle. Donate to the Camp Thunderbird Charitable Foundation at the link in our bio.

Today, Fuel the Journey 2026 begins. 🏕️

Right now, there are children who dream of camp but may never get the chance to experience it without support from people like you.

Camp is more than cabins and campfires. It is confidence. Friendship. Independence. Belonging. It is the place where kids discover who they are and who they can become.

This campaign helps provide scholarships, essential supplies, and opportunities for children to experience the life-changing magic of camp.

Every gift helps open the camp gates for another child.

The best friendships start with a paddle in your hand. Two kids in a canoe, finding their rhythm — that’s where it begins, and it tends to last a lifetime. Your gift to the Camp Thunderbird Charitable Foundation gives a kid the bow seat in that canoe. Our Fuel the Journey campaign BEGINS TOMORROW!

Camp Odayin is for children with heart disease — kids who often spend the year explaining their scars. At camp, no one has to. Gabrielle says it better than we ever could: “welcomed, loved and included.” That’s what your gift to the Camp Thunderbird Charitable Foundation buys: a week where a kid gets to just be a kid. Mark your calendars — Fuel the Journey is happening May 17 and 18. Every dollar goes directly to sending more children to camps like Odayin.

Adventure is the part of camp that stays with you forever — the trail you weren’t sure you could finish, the peak you watched the sun rise from, the friends who carried your pack the last mile. Your gift puts a kid on a trip like this one. Join us May 17 and 18 for Fuel the Journey — two days, one mission: more kids at camp.

Sherwood Forest serves kids from St. Louis whose summers, without camp, would look a lot different. When Addie says your support “transforms lives through powerful outdoor experiences” — that’s not abstract. It’s a kid sleeping under stars for the first time. It’s a week of being known, being outside, being a kid. On May 17 and 18, our Fuel the Journey campaign goes live. Every dollar you give to the Camp Thunderbird Charitable Foundation makes that week possible for someone.

For 80 summers, the journey has started right here — boats on the dock, the lake going gold, a whole season stretching out ahead. For some kids, that journey only happens because someone they’ll never meet made it possible. That’s the Camp Thunderbird Charitable Foundation. Our Fuel the Journey matching campaign kicks off on May 17th to 18th. Help us send another kid down the Million Dollar Mile this summer. Stay tuned for updates!
