In the wondrous, wild world of Michigan, there’s a group of extraordinary kids who do something completely magical - they dance! Now, Michigan isn't just any ordinary state, oh no, it's a magical land shaped like a mitten, where the lakes sparkle like sapphires and cherries grow as big as your fist. Imagine a place where you can touch the stars from the sand dunes and catch a snowflake on your tongue in the winter. That's Michigan! Now let's meet the Michigan Marvellous Moonwalkers, a team of dance-loving kids. They come from every corner of this magnificent mitten, from the lively streets of Detroit to the frosty Upper Peninsula. Each one of them is a splendidly special character indeed. There's Bouncy Benny who can boogie better than a kangaroo on hot sand. Twinkle-Toe Tina, whose tap dancing can outshine the brightest star in the sky. Spinster Sam, who can twirl faster than a tornado in a tea cup. And don't forget Jiggy Jill who can jive like a jellyfish on a rollercoaster. But the most famous of them all is Hip-Hop Harry, a mystical moose with moves smoother than a slithering snake. He's got antlers as wide as a school bus and a heart as big as Lake Superior. He's the one who teaches the Moonwalkers how to groove and move, flip and dip, with a rhythm that can shake the pines in the forests! So, as the sun sets over the Great Lakes, the Michigan Marvellous Moonwalkers come out to dance, their infectious laughter filling the air. Together, they make the Mitten State the most hopping, bopping, non-stopping place to be. And remember, if you ever pass through Michigan, don't forget your dancing shoes. You never know when Hip-Hop Harry might invite you to join the dance!

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.
