“Charlie has opened up so much being able to come to camp. As a kid who is shunned for being themselves, camp has allowed them to be who they are without feeling like they need to hide. We have seen a big improvement with Charlie since coming to camp! Without this scholarship, Charlie would not have had this opportunity. We are incredibly grateful for the experience.”

YMCA Camp Thunderbird has the power to transform children's futures - children become empowered, find their strengths and are given opportunities to reach their full potential. Many families simply cannot afford to send their children to camp, so let’s work together to give kids the chance to learn from positive role models, make friends, and experience the joy of summer.

The 48 Hour Challenge is a chance to change the trajectory of a child’s life through scholarships to Camp Thunderbird and we need your help! Give today so we can ensure all children have the opportunity to build confidence, create life-long memories, and are given a safe place to be a kid over the summer.
