Once upon a time, in the bustling state of New York, where the skyscrapers touched the sky, and hot dogs were as popular as rainbows after a drizzle, lived a group of art-loving kids. They were a fantastic squad who loved one thing above all else - Drawing and Sketching! 

They ruled the art world from their secret headquarters located in the heart of Central Park, a mystical treehouse hidden amongst the ancient trees known only as "The Sketch Pad". 

These kids weren't your ordinary doodlers, oh no! They were Sketch Warriors - protectors of imagination and creativity. Their mighty pencils worked faster than a New York minute, their erasers could correct any mistake, and their sketchbooks were like magical scrolls filled with marvelous creatures and breathtaking landscapes. 

Leading this extraordinary team was a cool imaginary character called Doodlebug, a hilarious and sprightly lil' bug with spectacles as big as his humor. He had a knack for turning any boring object into a spectacular masterpiece with his savvy sketches. Doodlebug’s drawings were so lively and vivid; it was rumored that they could leap off the page. "A boring apple? Let's turn that into a funny apple monster!" Doodlebug would often say, making everyone chuckle with his quirky imagination.

Together, Doodlebug and the Sketch Warriors transformed the world of art with their continuous laughter, vibrant colors, and creativity that flowed like the mighty Niagara Falls. They proved that in the state of New York, the city that never sleeps, there's always time for a good sketch and a hearty laugh!

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.
