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?
