In the mystical land of Georgia, fondly known as the Golden Peach State, where the sun shines almost as bright as the friendly smiles of its inhabitants, exist a special group of kids. They are the wave riders, the water wizards, the H2O heroes - they are the Georgia Aquakids! This merrily mischievous group is led by their charismatic leader, Gator Gary, a talking alligator with a warm heart, a belly full of laughter, and an insatiable love for water-based fun! Known for his witty quips and hearty guffaws, Gator Gary is as entertaining as he is inspiring, teaching the Aquakids the art of water adventure. The Aquakids are as diverse as the colorful shells found in the stunning Georgia coastline, but they all share a common love for water activities. From swimming to snorkeling, kayaking to kite-surfing, these kids can do it all and they do it with infectious joy and boundless energy. They zip around the Atlantic waters like dolphins on a sugar rush, leaving rooster tails of spray in their wake and raucous laughter echoing behind. Don't be fooled by their fun-loving exterior, though. These kids are also protectors of their aquatic playground. They know every fish in their coastal community by name, clean up beaches with the enthusiasm of treasure hunters, and can tell you 101 ways to conserve water before you can even say "Splish Splash!" So in the wild water world of Georgia, life is a constant adventure for these Aquakids. With Gator Gary leading the way, they explore, splash, laugh and protect, making their water wonderland a better place with each wave they ride.

Dear Families, (currently our website is under construction) 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.
