Benefits of Summer Camp

Summer camp can be a bridge to the world over which a child can carry the seeds of attributes already planted at home and in school. The right summer camp can be the ideal first step away from home and family, because a good summer camp is still a safe environment for learning independence. Summer camp is a place for fun and the joy and passion of growth free from the stress of modern fascination for achievement. Camp is a respite from the technology that can rule a child’s life and distract from human attributes rather than being a tool to implement them. A camper can discover and develop attributes like these over the course of every summer and have a great deal of fun doing so.........

This voluntary nature makes children more open to new experiences, with personal satisfaction as their motivation. Not only are there opportunities to try new things, but camp offers many areas for children to excel in.

Top Reasons for Summer Camp
He was 10 and I knew he was looking for more than a summer of day care and TV shows. So I wondered if SUMMER CAMP was the right place for my son.
My son, currently 15, has attended Swift Nature Camp for four years and we are going to send him back for as long as we can. He loves it. Although, he has ADHD and is very smart, but has trouble at school with attention-seeking ploys.
The counselors and directors at SNC have a great, hands-on approach to leadership, social skills development and confidence-building......read on

Swift nature Camp is so much more than FUN. Our tree of Values helps campers concentrate on the importance of group living skills. The life skills that are so important to yourself and to others. The tree has 12 branches that include: Responsibility, Persistence, Honesty, Enthusiasm and a host of others. Nation wide there is a program called Character Counts. This is our program and each day we use these values. But it’s when we focus on them and keep them in the forefront of our daily life that it helps us make good choices. Daily we might see these values as you help another camper carry a hiking pack or maybe as you forgive a camper that touched your stuff. Swift Nature Camp, like life has many opportunities to use the SNC tree of values. After all camp is just a little piece of life that you will never forget.

So you are looking for a children's summer camp! After you have watched all the camp DVDs and read the brochures, you need references! CampRating is an independent website that allows campers and parents alike to post a note about their summer camp experience. I am so pleased to say that Swift Nature Camp is currently rated one of top 25 summer camps in America. Thats pretty special. Here are just a few of the many positive comment folks have offered about Swift. To read more click Best Summer Camp in Wisconsin
Best camp ever!!!!! I wish I stayed for 6 weeks!
Swift was the BEST camp I have ever attended! the staff was caring, the whole camp was maintained perfectly and every cabin participated in frequent and awesome activities. They pay attention to table manners and make them fun. SNC has changed me as a person inside and out. With a limit of around 2 or 3 candies a week, it was a very healthy 2 weeks. I wait eagerly for the summer so that I can attend once again. -Gaby, A Former Camper.
You can't get much better than Swift. Swift Nature Camp is like a second family. You always feel welcome and wanted. Jeff and Lonnie have created and maintain a great summer program full of opportunities beyond your imagination. Where else can you go from being a clown, to jumping on a water trampoline, to dinner over a campfire with just you and your cabinmates. If you're looking for a camp where your adventurous side will be tested Swift is also the place, offering different camping and day trips from Kayaking the fish creek estuary into Lake Superior, to volunteering at the Vince Shutte Bear Sanctuary, to paddling to Picnic Island a 1/4 of mile offshore from camp and having your own private oasis. The staff care about you and it's like the theme song to Cheers, "Everybody knows your name". As someone who has moved on from my camping days into my adult years and thinking about starting a family, when my own kids are older I'd send them to Swift in a heartbeat. You'll be glad you went! I am.
