Camp Thunderbird Memories

When we came back from Camp Thunderbird, I asked each child to tell me about his or her favorite memory from camp.  Don't worry - it's a short video.  Each child gives a 1-2 sentence summary about what they loved most.  I'm always fascinated about what our kids bring back from camp.  There are lots of fun memories! 

Camp Thunderbird

Once again, I want to apologize for not posting these videos sooner.  Here are some highlights from our trip to Camp Thunderbird.  I created 3 different videos - Zipline/Tower, Wacky Olympics, and Classes.  The Zipline and Tower are always two of my favorites - I love to see the kids face their fears and overcome obstacles.  You will laugh out loud when you see our kids dancing away at the Wacky Olympics.  There's one particular clip of Ricky that makes me smile every time - he dances with pure joy.  And I love to see our kids canoe.  Many of them have never been out on the water like this before, and I love to watch them experience this for the first time.  I hope these videos give all of our parents an idea of the incredible fun we had at camp. 

Camp Thunderbird - Wacky Olympics

This may be my favorite video from camp.  On Tuesday night, we had the Wacky Olympics - a bunch of wild and funny relay races.  It really didn't matter who won.  The kids were too busy laughing and dancing and singing.  It was pure joy.  Make sure you watch this one all the way to the end - you don't want to miss John Tyler and friends singing "Party in the USA" at the top of their lungs!

Camp Thunderbird - Zipline

One of the highlights from camp - the zipline.  The video says it all.

Camp Thunderbird - Scenes

Here are some different scenes from Camp Thunderbird - playing basketball during free time, canoeing, and experiencing the wildlife ecology course.

Camp Thunderbird - Living History

One of the first activities we did at Camp Thunderbird was Living History.  We went around to several different "characters" and found out what life was like the earlier pioneers.  Each team was a family - complete with mom, dad, uncles, aunts, grandparents, and children.  Everyone had a part.  I think my favorite character has to be the school teacher - it really gives the kids an appreciation for how truly nice I am!

Here's the second set of pictures from camp...

Camp Thunderbird - Part 1

I've finally gotten around to put some of the photos together from Camp Thunderbird.  As you're watching this slide show, make sure your child is explaining each event.  There are lots of funny moments!
