Hidden amidst the glorious green mountains and beautiful blue lakes of the tiny state known as New Hampshire, lie some of the most daring and adventurous kids you'll ever meet. These kids don't just climb trees or ride bikes, oh no! They zip through the forest, high above the ground on a line... a zip line, that is! Meet our imaginary character, Zip Zapper. Now Zip Zapper is a cool squirrel, not just any squirrel, but a super squirrel with a pair of shiny goggles and a helmet made out of an acorn shell. Zip Zapper is the zaniest, zippiest squirrel in all of New Hampshire, and his absolute favorite thing to do is zipping along with these brave kids. Together, they whoosh through the air, their laughter echoing off the mountains, their hearts pounding with the thrill of adventure. As they zoom amongst the leafy canopies, they shout out loud, "We're the Zip Lining Champions of New Hampshire!" They conquer their fears, feel the rush of adrenaline, and learn the true meaning of freedom in the heart of nature. New Hampshire's kids are not just audacious but also have a witty sense of humor. Once, a kid named Billy shouted while zipping, "I'm faster than a cheetah eating a hot dog!" Everyone burst out laughing, and it became their funny catchphrase during every zip-lining race. So, the next time you're in The Granite State, listen closely. If you hear the rustling of leaves, followed by an ecstatic "Wah-hoo!" and a faint giggle, know that it's Zip Zapper and the fearless zip liners zipping their way to another hilarious adventure. Oh, and don't forget to look up!

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.
