SNC is an Kids Summer Camp for boys and girls ages 6-15. Blending traditional summer camp activities while increasing a child’s appreciation for nature, science is our goal. We give children tools they need on their way to adulthood. Here is what some have had to say.
Swift was the BEST camp i have ever attended! the staff was caring, the whole camp was maintained perfectly and every cabin participated in frequent and awesome activities. They pay attention to table manners and make them fun. SNC has changed me as a person inside and out. with a limit of around 2 or 3 candies a week, it was a very healthe 2 weeks. I wait eagerly for the summer so that I can attend once again. -Gaby, A Former Camper.
This camp is the best possible camp to send your kids to. The staff is amazing. Very well trained to deal with all aspect pertaining children.I sent my two girls last year for the 3 week session and they just loved it. My girls were 8 and 11. I have to admit I was very nervous about sending them for so long and so far away from where we live ( twin cities) so I went up to visit them. They were so happy. It was just like sending them to a relatives home. Lonnie and Jeff are very much dedicated to our kids it’s very heart warming to know our kids will be care for just as they would at home. I most defiantly will send my kids back this year. Please feel free to call and ask me any question you might have about Swift Nature Camp. Sending your child here would be the best possible thing you could do for your child.
This camp was a god send. I have sent my kids to numerous YMCA camps but nothing even compares to Swift. The love and compassion Lonnie and Jeff give to these kids is amazing. they make every kid feel very loved and cared for. This was my girls first year here. I was a little nervous sending them so far away for 3 weeks but Lonnie let me come and visit them on the weekends.When I came up to camp my girls were so happy I have not seen them just frre and careless in a long time. all they had were great stories about all the fun things they had done and the great Ice cream Jeff took them to go get down town. If you truly want your kids to have the best time of their life’s send them to Swift. My girls are begging to go to the 6 week camp. I’m already saving up. God bless you Lonnie and Jeff. You really made a difference in my girls life. Signed Joanne Martinez ( Bela and Rosie’s mom)
You can’t get much better than Swift. Swift Nature Camp is like a second family. You always feel welcome and wanted. Jeff and Lonnie have greated and maintain a great summer program full of opportunities beyond your imagination. Where else can you go from being a clown, to jumping on a water trampoline to dinner over a campfire with just you and your cabinmates. If your looking for a camp where your adveturous side will be tested Swift is also the place, offering different camping and day trips from Kayaking the fish creek estuary into Lake Superior, volunteering at the Vince Shutte Bear Sanctuary, or paddling to Picnic Island a 1/4 of mile off shore from camp and having your own private oasis. The staff care about you and it’s like the theme song to Cheers, “Everybody knows your name”. As someone who has moved on from the camping days into my adult years, thinking about starting a family, when my kids are older, I’d send them to Swift in a heartbeat. You’ll be glad you went, I am.
