In the remarkable land known as South Carolina, where the beaches sparkle like diamonds and forests are as lush as enchanted broccoli, there lived a special breed of children. These weren't your average kids, no siree! They were the Music Munchkins of South Carolina, and they had a knack for making melodies that could make a grumpy alligator dance the Charleston. Our story begins in a town where palm trees dance in the warm breeze and laughing seagulls perform their own version of the sky ballet. Here, we find our cool, imaginary friend – Beatbox Bob, a fun-loving, freestyle rapping pelican. With his oversized beak and flip-floppy feet, Bob was a sight to behold, especially when he began beatboxing, and creating beats that made the ocean waves stop to listen. Just like Beatbox Bob, every kid in South Carolina had a unique musical talent. Each morning, as the sun yawned and stretched its golden rays, the Music Munchkins would take out their instruments. Some strummed guitars, others tickled the ivories of their pianos, while a few more blew magical tunes out of their trumpets. Even those without physical instruments found music in their surroundings, drumming on tables, shaking rice-filled jars, or just singing out loud in their beautiful voices. These kids could turn anything into a symphony, even the sound of morning cereal crunching could become a rock 'n' roll masterpiece! In South Carolina, every day was a musical adventure. With Beatbox Bob leading this incredible orchestra, the Music Munchkins filled the state with a joyous noise. From the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Atlantic coast, every tree, every cloud, and every creature joined in this grand symphony, making South Carolina the most melodious state in all of America!

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.

At Theatre of the Republic, youth classes are held each week for 7 weeks. Our program includes acting, voice and dance instruction. Rehearsals are typically held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, although this can vary. The classes are designed to help students reach their potential, by teaching them to focus, take direction, respect their peers and improve their memorization and reading skills. In addition, the classes help to build confidence in their own abilities, both on and off the stage. Ultimately, our goal is for the students to learn how to work together as a team and tell their story with confidence.
