Dear
Families,
Swift Nature Camp is a Home School Summer
Camp for boys and girls ages 6-15. Our
focus is to blend traditional summer camp
activities with an appreciation for nature
and the environment while giving
indivdiual attention to Homeschoolers. As
Camp Directors and parents of a
Homeschooler ourselves, we are often asked
"Why should we send our home schooler to
summer camp?" There are many benefits for
the Homeschooled Child. However, at Swift
our primary goal is to facilitate a Fun
and Safe Summer Camp. Yet, there is so
much more to summer camp. Parents have
found summer camps as an amazing
opportunity to help their children mature
and grow as individuals in a community
setting.

Our
camps small size permitts us to give
individual attention to each Homeschooler.
Personal development is promoted by
providing fun, friendship and leadership
in a supportive and noncompetitive
environment away from home. While children
are being Homeschooled all year long,
that's your time to plant the seeds and
direct the thinking patterns which guide
your child to how they should behave and
socialize. But at Summer Camp Homeschooled
children will have an opportunity to act
on their own, be self-reliant and try
things for themselves. It gives them a
chance to practice, and get ready for the
real world.

To
put it in one word, Homescooler Summer
Camp provides a place where children can
be self-sufficient, and that's a major
part of growing up. Our Councelors model
perseverance, listening, teamwork and
appreciation of differences. This helps
campers set new and higher standards for
their own behavior, in turn brings their
new found independence more in line with
your at-home
teachings.

Camp

Swift
Nature Camp provides an opportunity for
each Homeschooled Child to come to a new
place and try new things whie making new
friends. Summer camp is a new world., a
new beginning. Who you were before has no
bearing on who you want to be. Many of our
campers return year after year saying that
"Swift allows me to be my real
self with real people" and we
feel the world would be a better
place if every place had that kind of
feeling.

This
all happens in the fun and sun of the
northwoods of Wisconsin. For staff and
campers alike, Swift Nature Camp is more
than just a place to be: it is your
Homeschoolers Summer Camp home. So why not
join our Swift family this
summer?
