In the magical mitten-shaped state of Michigan, where the Great Lakes play hide and seek with the land, there live a bunch of adventurous boys and girls fondly known as the 'Michi-Munchkins'. Now, these aren't your ordinary munchkins. They're a quirky, curious bunch known far and wide for their epic Field Trips into the wild unknown, and Michigan is their playground! From the bustling Motor City of Detroit to the sandy shores of Lake Michigan, these munchkins traverse the state with endless glee. Driven by the spirit of adventure, these kids explore every nook and cranny of their wonderful state, always ready to jump onto the 'Fun-n-Frolic' school bus. Now, let me introduce you to their leader, Captain QuickWit, a jolly, blue-eyed rabbit with a red bandana and a wiggly nose. He's the one responsible for making sure that the trips are funny, safe, and filled with laughter. How, you ask? Well, Captain QuickWit always has a joke up his furry sleeve! No matter how tricky the situation, he can always make the Michi-Munchkins laugh with his antics. From creating hilarious map-reading blunders to tripping over invisible pebbles, he sure knows how to keep the munchkins entertained. The Michi-Munchkins and Captain QuickWit, together, embark on their field trips, each one a new chapter in the grand adventure book of Michigan. They explore museum mysteries, trail the forest paths, and even sneak up on the sand dunes! Their laughter echoes throughout the state, and they return home with eyes sparkling with joy, and hearts filled with memories. For these kids, every day is a new adventure, every field trip, a journey into the magical world of knowledge and fun!

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.
