Camp Overview

We are a multi-specialty, residential brother/sister camps in Minnesota with distinctive Expedition Programs in the Pacific Northwest, Western States and Canada. Daily offerings of more than 20+ activities results in Tbird hiring about 70 staff at each camp for 150 campers. Staff come from 25+ states and 12 countries across the world.

Gorgeous lake with 1+ miles of sandy shoreline and a college town fifteen minutes away for time off!

Boys and Girls Camps are two miles apart with social opportunities available for staff.

* These are some of the best people you will ever meet!

* Staff instruct in one or more activities and help our campers acquire a level of skill that enables them to independently participate.

* All staff live in comfortable, spacious cabins. Cabin Counselors and Trip Leaders live in cabins with 6-10 campers, but enjoy a separate living space.  All of our cabins have electricity. At Boys Camp, each village has a central washhouse.

*We offer a shuttle to and from the Minneapolis airport on designated travel days.

*Once at camp, we offer shuttles on days and nights off to those staff who need a ride.

* Campers can't wait to call you a friend and mentor, Thunderbird is a second home to our campers and staff!

Staff Time Off

We believe that our staff work hard and therefore should have the time to relax. All staff recieve each week: one 7am - 7am day off, one 5pm - 7am evening off and one 10pm - 12am evening out. We offer shuttles on days and nights off to those staff who need a ride. In addition, there are opportunities to participate in many of the activities that we offer to campers.

Staff Qualities

Our staff members are high-energy, fun, nurturing and compassionate. They care about kdis and love to have fun and be silly. A camp job is hard work, but our staff are ready to work hard to meet those challenges. They're also great role models; counselors are often like superheroes in their campers' eyes. Most of all, our staff are focused on ensuring that their campers have an amazing, safe and memorable camp experience.
