Once upon a time, in the spunky state of New Hampshire, nestled between the billowing White Mountains and the shimmering lakes, a group of kids with magical voices echoed through the valleys. They were known as the Melodic Mountaineers, and they were no ordinary children, no sirree! These pint-sized powerhouses had a talent for turning notes into narratives and rhythm into rhymes. In the heart of New Hampshire, where the walls of the forest whispered with melodies of the wind, these kids would gather. With no mountain too high or valley too low, their voices would harmonize with the sounds of the wilderness creating a symphony only New Hampshire could produce. Their best friend and mentor was a whimsical creature, a Moose named Mozzicato. He had a magnificent set of antlers that served as the perfect stage for the Melodic Mountaineers. How they'd laugh when Mozzicato would conduct their choir with his gigantic antlers, shaking the leaves off trees and causing the local squirrels to break into a dance! Mozzicato was not just funny but also wise. He taught the kids how to use their voices to paint beautiful images, just like the vibrant fall in their beloved state. Each child had a unique voice, as sweet as maple syrup, as wild as a rushing river, or as bold as the granite hills. Yet, they harmonized beautifully, creating melodies that wrapped around New Hampshire like a warm, comforting blanket. The kids and Mozzicato spent their days exploring the beauty of New Hampshire, using their voices to celebrate the state's wonders, and making the surrounding landscape giggle with their infectious laughter and silly songs. Their joyous jingles echoed throughout the land, making New Hampshire not just a state, but a state of harmony.

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.
