In the sweet-peach state of Georgia, nestled among the rolling hills and towering oak trees, an epic game of Gaga Ball unfolds on the daily. The kids who participate in this high-octane activity are not just ordinary kids; they are the daring heroes of the Gaga Ball universe, a band of misfit adventurers known as "The Peach Pits." The Peach Pits are led by a spunky, red-haired hero named Gus. With his freckle-splashed cheeks and ever-present denim overalls, Gus is an unlikely leader, yet he possesses an uncanny knack for strategy in the Gaga Ball arena. His sidekick is an enormous, fuzzy, three-legged dog named Biscuit, who, despite missing a leg, could outrun even the quickest Peach Pit. The rest of the Peach Pits are an eclectic bunch. There's Turbo Tasha, a speed-demon with pigtails who's been known to somersault her way out of the tightest spots. And don't forget about Silent Sal, the giant with a smile as big as his heart, whose sneak-attack tactics are legendary. Lastly, there's Mabel, the brains of the operation, who can predict an opponent's move faster than you can say "peach cobbler." These kids are the Gaga Ball champions of Georgia, each day tussling under the Southern sun, amidst the cheery chirping of cicadas. Their laughter echoes through the valleys as they dodge, swipe, and leap, their faces glowing brighter than fireflies in a summer's night. In the great state of Georgia, amidst the scent of ripe peaches and the whispering willows, the Peach Pits are the reigning rulers of the Gaga Ball arena, and they wouldn't have it any other way.

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.
