In the magical realm of Michigan, where the Great Lakes sparkle like pools of liquid diamonds and the forests dance with enchanting wildlife, there is a special group of kids. Known as the "Karate Kritters," these kids are not your average Michigan youngsters. They don’t spend their time playing video games or watching TV. No sir, these kids are a league apart. They train in the ancient and noble art of karate!

One of the most prominent Karate Kritter is Bobby "The Beaver" Benson. Now don't let the name fool you! Bobby isn't some regular beaver, he's a karate-loving, high-kicking, Michigan-native powerhouse! Why, you ask? Well, when Bobby isn’t busy building dams and chewing through logs, he’s chopping wooden boards in half with his fearsome karate chops! 

Bobby and his friends spend their days in dojo, perfecting their roundhouse kicks and honing their side splits. They have as many colored belts as Michigan has apples, and they're as determined and focused as the Detroit Red Wings in the final minutes of a game. They flip, they twirl, they punch, and they kick. They're not just children, they're Karate Kritters!

Sure, they might get bruised, they might get a little sweaty, and the occasional 'accidental' kick to the face might lead to a lost tooth. But these are the moments that make their karate journey even more special, just like the magical state they call home.

So the next time you're in Michigan, look out for a flying roundhouse kick or a quick jab. Who knows, it might just be Bobby "The Beaver" Benson or one of his Karate Kritters in action!

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.

The owners of How MEGA Fun and Fitness, Kim and Juha (pronounced u-ha) Tanskanen, have both been active in, and have had a passion for the world of gymnastics for many years.   

Juha is from Finland and was invited to come to the USA in 1998 to direct a gymnastics program. Juha had also been a competitive gymnast and competed on the Finnish National team. Once he retired from being a competitor, he continued coaching, as a National team coach for the Finnish National team. He coached his brother, Jani Tanskanen, who became the 1997 World High Bar Champion. Although Juha is a physical therapist by trade, he made a decision to come to the USA to use his gymnastics talent to teach, judge, and produce many regional and national gymnastics champions.
