Once upon a time, in the kaleidoscope-like state of New Hampshire, where maple syrup flows like rivers and the mountains stretch up, up, up to play tag with the clouds, a group of kids embarked on an extraordinary adventure. You see, these weren't just any regular kids; they were the Musical Misfits of New Hampshire! They were known far and wide, from Portsmouth to Hanover, for their magical ability to make music from anything they laid their hands on. The leader of our band was a cheeky squirrel named Nutty Nick. Nick was notorious for drumming up a storm on hollow tree trunks, and the beats echoed across the dense green forests, making the birds dance and the flowers sway! Then there was Jazzy Jane, a bluebird with a voice as sweet as the honey from the bees of Keene. She could play the winds like a violin, and the melody could make the toughest of lumberjacks from Concord weep. Last but not least, came Billy the Beaver who played the river rocks like a set of piano keys. His aquatic symphonies brought the brilliant colors of fall to life and could even make the granite mountains of Franconia Notch tap their feet! Living in the picturesque vistas of New Hampshire, these kids, led by their furry friends, created the most harmonious melodies. Their music was as diverse and enchanting as their state itself. It was wild, wonderful, and full of whimsy, just like their exciting New Hampshire adventures. With their instruments in hand, and the twinkle of mischief in their eyes, they played a tune that made even Old Man of the Mountain tap to the rhythm!

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.
