Dear
Families,
Swift Nature Camp is a Wisconsin Science
Summer Camp for boys and girls ages 6-15.
Our focus is to blend traditional summer
camp activities with an appreciation for
nature, animals 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,
Educational 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.

and Canoe Trips at a science camp

At
Swift Nature Camp our small size allows us
to promote each child's personal
development by providing fun, friendship
and learning in a supportive and
noncompetitive environment away from home.
At summer camp children have an
opportunity to act on their own, be
self-reliant and try things for
themselves.

Swift
Nature Camp has developed a hands-on
environmental camp that promotes learning
which includes field trips, such as visits
to a fish hatchery and state
parks;hands-on field projects, like goose
banding and butterfly counts; and exciting
camp presentations, ranging from visits
with live owls to learning how
professionals manage a forest fire. The
kids don't just watch the excitement, they
are in the middle of it
participating.

Science summer camps promote New
Friends
|
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 their
summer home. So be a part of this science
camp this summer.
