Dear
Families,
Swift Nature Camp is a Overnight 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. As Camp Directors, we
are often asked "What are the benefits of
a overnight summer camp experience?" Our
primary answer at Swift is to facilitate a
Fun and Safe Summer Camp. But we know that
there is so much more to summer camp. For
years, parents have found summer camps as
an amazing opportunity to help their
children mature.

At
Swift Nature Camp our small size allows us
this Overnight Camp to promote each
child's personal development by providing
fun, friendship and leadership in a
supportive and noncompetitive environment
away from home. While children are home
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
children will have an opportunity to act
on their own, be self-reliant and try
things for themselves.
|
|
To
put it in one word, Overnight summer camp
provides independence, and that's a major
part of growing up. When campers find
adult friends called counselors,
who model perseverance, listening,
teamwork and appreciation of differences,
campers set new and high standards for
their own behavior. This in turn brings
their new found independence more in
line with your at-home
teachings.

New Friends at Overnight Summer
Camp
|
We
see Swift Nature Camp as an opportunity
for each child to come to a new place and
try new things and make new friends.
Summer camp is a new world. Who you were
before has no bearing on who you want to
be, because camp is a new beginning. Many
of our campers return year after year
saying that "Swift allows me to
be my real self with real people" and
we feel that's a good
thing.
|
|
All
this happens in the fun and sun of the
north woods of Wisconsin. For staff and
campers alike, Swift Nature Camp is more
than just a place to be: it is your childs
Overnight Summer Camp home. So why not
join our Swift family this
summer?
