Swift Nature Camp is a summer camp for boys and girls ages 6-15. We are located 2.5 hours Northeast of Minneapolis Minnesota. Our focus is to blend traditional summer camp with an appreciation for nature and the environment. Our goal is to provide an education outside the classroom. We use traditional camp activities such as, Archery, Canoeing, Art & Crafts and Skiing to challenge each child. In addition, our children live in nature during their Backpacking and Canoeing Trips. Living at camp creates a community in which we expect each child to become an active citizen. This belonging promotes each camper to increase their Self-esteem, Independent Thinking, Initiative, and so much more. All this while playing in Nature and having FUN while creating lifelong friends... Swift Nature Camp |
