Riflery Camp
Visit: Swift Nature Camp Website
So what can you do a camp that you cant do at Home? How bout shooting guns? Yep, one of the fun activity at this kids camp is riflery. This is one area at camp where there is no clowning around. We take teaching riflery very seriously. It may be a tradition at many summer camp. But we are very proud that our riflery range is our safest area at camp. At Swift Nature Camp we only shoot at targets and we shoot from the prone position (thats lying down) , our guns are single shot .22 caliber rifles. Our campers try to earn our camp Marksman awards. Often parents ask why have rifles at camp? The answer is ...we want to teach children how to properly and safely operate a gun. Campers also learn life lessons, like you need to practice and as you do practice bit by bit, you improve and before you know it you are loving Riflery.

One of the best ways to share the outdoors with a child is to go for a hike. There is always so much to see and hiking is the best way to really get out there and reconnect with the great outdoors. at Swift we often have short hikes around camp where we are looking for different flora and fauna. Children just love their time out in nature chasing frogs, pick up sticks and rocks, watching birds or whatever else may interest them. Yet the most exciting hikes are our Adventure Hiking Trips. when campers leave camp for 2 or 3 days. It’s knowing that every thing you need is on your back and you must make it to the pickup point on time. This is how we build self-reliance.
