What Makes Us Unique? 

We are multi-specialty, residential brother/sister camps in Minnesota with distinctive Expedition Programs in 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. 

* 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 activity 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!

“I've been working at this camp for the past 4 summers and I've loved it. It's pretty laid back and super fun. It was nice to be able to spend the summer outdoors and meet new people that I know are going to be my friends for a lifetime. ”
