My Nonprofit Reviews

My daughter had an amazing time at camp. She spent a good deal of time blacksmithing, playing in the water and riding horses. She had a fantastic time on the backpacking trips. This is her words:

"I absolutely loved my experience at camp, I got to do so many things I wouldn't have been able to do otherwise, learned more about myself and made new friends. I know that I wouldn't have been able to have these experiences without all of the donors and I really appreciate them!"

She had nothing but a positive time at Camp Thunderbird. She recounts the trees, how there were around fifteen different varieties of trees withing a ten foot radius. How they were everywhere, lush, green and absolutely gorgeous. The smell of the trees is something she remembers, and the memory of them is something she already misses.

Without the kindness of donors, without the amazing teamwork of all the staff at the Cheley Foundation and from the camp themselves, my daughter would never have had the experience she took away from her time there over the summer. Having never had the opportunity to go as a child (but always wanted to, except family camping trips), I can say that I am SO glad my children got to experience what I never was able to. That miracle would never have been possible without this amazing program. Thank you, from the Reed family. No, really, THANK YOU.
