Building Self-Confidence
    Creating Lasting Friendships
Discovering Independence & Personal Growth

Since 1969, Quest’s Camp Thunderbird has been dedicated to providing a real summer camp experience for people with developmental disabilities. Campers of all ages have had the time of their lives participating in the activities such as camping, fishing, swimming, canoeing, arts & crafts, sports & games, evening socials, nature study and more!  

In addition to making new friends and unforgettable memories, campers learn new skills and take on challenges that help build self-confidence. Camp Thunderbird’s six and twelve-day overnight sessions also give parents and guardians a break from 24-hour care (day camp is also now available).
