Swift Nature Camp

Summer Kid's Camps 2026

Dear Families,

Swift Nature Camp is a summer kids camp for boys and girls ages 6–15, where fun, learning, and adventure come together. We combine classic summer camp activities with exciting nature, science, and environmental programs that help kids discover the world around them. But camp is more than just fun — it’s a child-centered experience designed to be free from screens, celebrity culture, and academic pressures. Guided by caring camp counselors, campers develop lifelong skills such as confidence, teamwork, leadership, compassion, and communication. At Swift Nature Camp, every activity is intentionally designed to help kids grow, connect, and build memories that last a lifetime.

We believe it's our small size that allows this Summer Kids Camp to promote each child's personal development by providing fun, friendship and leadership in a supportive and noncompetitive environment away from home. At Swift Nature Camp we provide a unique opportunity kids to act on their own, be self-reliant and try things for themselves.

Thus, summer kids camps provide independence, and that's a major part of growing up. When campers find adult friends called counselors, who model perseverance, listening, teamwork and appreciation of differences, campers set new and high standards for their own behavior. This in turn brings their new found independence more in line with your at-home teachings.

We see Swift Nature Camp as an opportunity for each child to come to a new place and try new things and make new friends. Summer kids camp is a new world. Who you were before has no bearing on who you want to be, because camp is a new beginning. Many of our campers return year after year saying that "Swift allows me to be my real self with real people" and we feel that's a good thing.

All this happens in the fun and sun of the north woods of Wisconsin. For staff and campers alike, Swift Nature Camp is more than just a place to be: it is their summer home. So why not join our Swift family this summer?
