In the thriving heartland of the United States, nestled snugly between New York and Pennsylvania, lies the enchanting state of New Jersey. A magical place where the corn dogs grow on trees, where the ocean whispers stories of pirates, and trout have their very own hip-hop dance contests. I'm teasing, of course, but New Jersey is an exciting place where the ordinary meets the extraordinary. Now, let me introduce you to the magnificent, marvellous, and mysterious New Jersey Robo-Kids. These inventive whiz kids are the wizards of the wrench, the sorcerers of the soldering iron, and the magicians of the microchip. Meet their ringleader, Bolt Brain Billy. Legend has it that Billy was born during a lightning storm, and the first words he spoke were "circuit board." Billy can build robots faster than a hydro-powered hummingbird, and his robots are as cool as an astronaut’s boots. He even once built a robot to do his homework, but the robot was too smart and ran away to start its own software company. He's been trying to get it to come back for tutoring ever since! Billy, along with his brigade of bot-builders, wield their tools with precision and purpose, turning nuts and bolts into artificial allies. They are the knights in shining armor in the land of technology, always eager to solve problems, battling malfunctioning robots, and saving the day. Their robots can do everything from making a perfect sandwich to rescuing kittens from towering trees. The children of New Jersey, especially those who find joy in the world of robotics, are the living embodiment of imagination unchained, of creativity unfettered. So step right up, future inventors, and join the extraordinary tale of the New Jersey Robo-Kids. Whether you're in Trenton or Teterboro, your robotic adventure awaits!

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.
