Once upon a time, in the sunny and surfy state of California, lived a bunch of whip-smart kids. Now these weren't your average run-of-the-mill kids. They swapped playground games for business plans, and lunchbox treats for entrepreneurial feats! Welcome to the land of Kidpreneurs! Our story follows a particularly zany character, Boomer the Business Badger. Boomer wasn't your typical Californian critter; he swapped his badger burrow for a bustling start-up office, and his muddy paws for a sharp business suit. Sporting his signature sunglasses and a surfboard under his arm, he was the epitome of cool Californian style. Boomer was the mentor to our gang of Kidpreneurs. He taught them everything they needed to know about the exciting world of entrepreneurship. From creating an eye-catching logo to mastering the perfect business handshake, Boomer had it all covered. The Kidpreneurs of California were a diverse and bold bunch. From the tech-savvy Sam in Silicon Valley, who invented a solar-powered skateboard, to the eco-friendly Ella in Los Angeles, who set up her own organic smoothie bar. They were young, but they had big ideas and even bigger dreams. What made these Kidpreneurs special was not only their brilliance but their zest for life. They knew the power of a good belly laugh and would often partake in epic water balloon fights, hilarious joke-offs, and wild dance-offs. So, kids, put on your thinking caps, roll up your sleeves, and prepare to dive headfirst into the weird, wonderful, and wacky world of California Kidpreneurs!

Dear Families, Welcome to the wonderful world of Swift Nature Camp an overnight camp for boys and girls ages 6-15 located in the beautiful Northwoods of Wisconsin. I’m Lonnie, the Camp Director, and I’m thrilled to share what makes SNC such a special place for kids and families alike. For nearly 30 years, our mission has been to create an environment where children can grow, discover, and make lifelong memories. Here at camp, we focus on friendship, personal development, and a deep connection to nature—all in a fun, supportive, and adventurous setting. All this without cell phones One of the things that sets Swift Nature Camp apart is our focus on fostering independence and confidence. Whether it’s trying a new activity like canoeing, taking on a leadership role in a group project, or simply navigating life away from home, camp provides endless opportunities for personal growth. We celebrate each camper’s unique personality and encourage them to step outside their comfort zone in a safe and nurturing way. Seeing kids gain new skills and pride in their accomplishments is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. For our youngest campers, Discovery Camp is an especially magical experience. Designed only for first-time campers ages 6-12, this shorter program gives kids a chance to experience the joys of camp life in a way that’s just right for them. It’s amazing to watch these kids try new things—from learning about the natural world to singing campfire songs—and leave camp with big smiles and even bigger stories to tell. Discovery Camp is often the beginning of a long and cherished relationship with SNC, and we’re so proud to see those first-time campers grow into confident and capable young people. Another cornerstone of Swift Nature Camp is our connection to the environment. We believe that nature isn’t just a backdrop for camp; it’s a teacher, a playground, and a source of endless wonder. Through hands-on activities like pond studies, wildlife observation, and outdoor adventures, campers develop an appreciation for the natural world that stays with them long after camp ends. The Camp Zoo is always a favorite, campers can even adopt a pet while at camp.Our goal is to inspire kids to become curious, mindful stewards of the environment. At Swift Nature Camp, there’s never a dull day! With hundreds of land and water activities, campers are always engaged and excited. On land, some favorites include the Lego Cabin, Arts & Crafts, Archery, and exploring the Nature Center. On the water, campers learn Canoeing, Fishing, and Swimming, but the absolute favorites are Tubing behind the boat and jumping off the Water Trampoline. Never is there a dull day because every day is packed with fun, adventure, and opportunities to try something new. Of course, none of this would be possible without the amazing friendships that form here. SNC is a place where kids truly feel like they belong. Campers and counselors alike bring warmth, kindness, and enthusiasm to everything we do, creating a strong sense of community. Whether it’s cheering each other on during a game, collaborating on a creative project, or sharing laughs around the campfire, the bonds formed at Swift Nature Camp are something truly special. Thank you for entrusting us with your children. It’s an honor to be part of their journey and to help create memories that will last a lifetime. If you have any questions or just want to chat about camp, don’t hesitate to reach out. I can’t wait to see what the next camp season holds and to welcome your family to another amazing summer at Swift Nature Camp.
Horse Camp is a special experience, where campers learn about horses and horsemanship. They learn how to groom a horse, how to tack (put on the horse’s saddle and bridle), and how to ride. The Horse Camp curriculum is the same each week, but each camper’s riding experiences will vary. Another activity that we offer is Computer, Robotics, Entrepreneurship and Imagination Camps. The campers use the same tools and activities each week, but the projects, products, and challenges will vary. They will learn about computer programming, engineering, and robotics; and can even design their own device. They also explore the world of entrepreneurship and learn how to create a business plan. Finally, they explore their imagination and create something wonderful.
