75th Reunion at Boys Camp in 2022

We take great pride in reaching this milestone. It was a pleasure and honor to host this remarkable celebration commemorating those seventy-five years. Campers and staff spanning from the 1940s onward celebrated the weekend with us. Alumni from all across the US, as well as the UK and Canada. The stories, memories and shared moments were an event amongst themselves. We loved every second of the weekend and relished in the time with old friends and new ones.

50th Reunion at Girls Camp in 2019

In 2019 we celebrated the 50th anniversary of Camp Thunderbird for Girls. On a weekend in mid-August, Alumnae of all ages (the oldest being from the 1960s) journeyed to the Northwoods to relive their camp days and connect with old friends. The weather for the weekend was absolutely gorgeous and everyone took advantage down at the waterfront, brushing up on their canoeing, sailing and water skiing skills. Alums also rode horses, practiced their aim at Riflery and Archery, and thoroughly enjoyed our Hootenanny style music night. We closed out the weekend with a wonderful Final Banquet and everyone shared their favorite camp memories. It was truly an unforgettable weekend and we cherished every moment with all those who attended. We look forward to hosting 55 year celebrations across the country.
