But what I think they really mean is that they have been looking for a special overnight summer camp that meets their child’s needs. You see they are looking for an Animal Summer Camp or a Nature Camp, maybe a Science Camp all near Minneapolis. Why? Because their child generally is not sportsy type and really thrives being outside going on frog hunts and doing other Nature activities. So when a parent finds a small camp like SNC, they are very happy that their child will have the opportunity to play and be with kids who are also Nature Nuts.
You See at SNC we are not school so children learn about animals and nature hands on. Matter of fact one of our favorite activities is going on a frog hunt. See at SNC we believe when campers see, they remember. But when campers do, they understand.

10 Important Questions to Ask When Choosing the Best Overnight Summer Camp in Wisconsin


 
 overnight summer camp
                            
As a parent selecting among the overnight summer camp choices in Wisconsin is a challenge. But with a little research, you can find the best summer camp for your child.
Here is a list of questions that we recommend you ask yourself, your child and the camp director. Because after all these are the folks involved in your final decision.
1. What’s are you looking for in a camp experience. Fun is an easy answer. Yet, you and your child will have to look deeper in order to pick the right camp. If you find there are differences it is time for more talking. Once you have a list of 5 or 6 items it is time to start your online search. Often overnight summer camps in WI look the same from outside, yet, each camp has its own flavor and philosophies. This could include things like competition vs non competition or hardship vs accommodation. Maybe it’s resort style vs life skills. Hence, it’s always better to know what you want before looking at the fancy video and pics.
2. How does the camp recruit, screen and train its staff? Camp staff is the heart & brain of every summer camp. Don’t assume every camp trains and supervises their staff in the same way. Therefore it is important to look for information that answers these questions: How is staff recruited?, What is the training process?, Where do staff come from?, How does your camp do background checks and reference checks.?
3. What’s a percent of your camp staff return? The American Camp Association says at most camps have 1/2 of their staff return. This is just a rule of thumb. If the number you’re given is much lower you might ask Why?
4. What’s the camper return rate? Again, 50% is a good number. The more the better, because it means campers are having a good time, parents trust the camp and there is a good chance your child will want to return.
5. How many counselors are there to campers? The American Camp Association guidelines for overnight camps call for> 1:6 ratio for ages 7 and 8; 1:8 for ages 9–14; and 1:10 for ages 15–18 Day camp guidelines call for> 1:8 for children ages 6–8; 1:10 for children ages 9–14; and 1:12 for ages 15–18.
6. How old are the counselors? According to the American Camp Association, 80% of the staff should be 18 or older and all other staff members must be at least 16 and a minimum of two years older than the campers they supervise. The better camps in Wisconsin use all staff over 18.
7. What medical staff work at the camp and what backup facilities are nearby? It is recommended that overnight camps have a licensed physician or registered nurse on the site every day, and that day camps should have direct phone access to a medical professional. However, most local codes do not require this stringent adherence to onsite care so it is important to look for this information.
8. How does the camp handle conflicts and Discipline? Carefully go through all camp’s rules and regulations. You should feel comfortable that the camp’s practices are in line with your parenting practices. After all, children may need discipline while at camp and you need to feel comfortable with another person disciplining your child.





9. What does a typical daily schedule look like? Most camps have different ways of scheduling the camp day. It is important to be sure you feel comfortable with what you see. For instance, if your child loves archery, can they do it every day? Don’t assume be sure to ask.
10. Does your camp provide transportation for the campers? If so how is this done? Do they subcontract motor coach transportation or use camp vans. How do they train the drivers and check credentials? Does the camp certify the vehicles are safe? How? As a camp director, I realize that vehicle transport is one of the most dangerous areas of camp and needs to be properly addressed
Last but not least, the most important thing to do is ask for references. This is an area that is not done enough. Every family should call at least 2 families with a specific list of questions.
 We at Swift Nature Camp, strictly follow all guidelines laid by the American Camp Association, which is why our name is counted among the best overnight summer camps in Wisconsin.

Environmental Summer Camps for Swift Nature Camp

* As the owner of a science and nature camp in Northern Wisconsin, parents often ask me for advice how we get kids excited about Nature. I think it is important for we as parents have to role model if we want our kids to follow. Here are some helpful hints.
* Today’s world has changed at rapid speed. As humans it is important we and our children relearn how importance makes time to breathe. Yes, long slow breaths as well as breathing in the calming sights, scents, and sounds of nature. From the simplest of watching a sunrise to the more difficult of learning the constellations. Being more involved with nature will make you feel more awake and attuned to the natural world around you. It will refresh and energize your body and mind
So why this connection to nature? Since the beginning of time, we were a part of nature it is only in very recent times that we have evolved to a point that mankind can live a life filled with screens and void of nature. Yet, deep down inside the natural world brings us joy. This excitement and pleasure have been essential to our survival.
Today is the day that we need to consciously bring our kids back to nature. We all can recall the days as kids we went outside for hours at a time often unsupervised. This time brought us closer to nature, made us more independent and more thoughtful of our friends. Plus, those kids that play unstructured tend to have a greater connection to animals. David Petersen puts it this way, “Without our fellow animals, we would not be human. Animals and what remains of the wild, natural world are central to our emotional as well as biological well-being.”
So how do we connect kids back to science and nature? Below is a list of just a few simple things you can do with your children.
Connect
Take time around your yard or neighborhood to find that special place. A place that connects with you. a place that brings renews your soul. In his book, A Sense of Place, artist, and conservationist Alan Gussow say, “As humans, we require support for our spirits, and this is what certain kinds of places provide. A place is a piece of the whole environment that has been claimed by feeling.” Then take your children to this spot. Tell them what it does for you and help make it “your connection spot” if you do this you will be imprinted on your children how important Nature is to you. They will remember this special place in their hearts forever.
Commitment
Obviously, while at this special place you will be modeling for your child a relationship with nature. The best way to do this is to regularly visit your place on a semi-regular basis. Be sure that at each visit you and your child look for how many “new” things you can observe, you will be amazed.
Journal
Keeping a journal of your experiences and observations is easy and rewarding, plus it gives you and your child to go back and reflect on all the things you did see out in nature. Journals can be filled with many things such as the identification of plants and animals, reflective writing, thoughts, facts, descriptions, sketches, questions, charts or even a little nature-based poetry. Here are some helpful hints:
Environment-Make a habit of writing down the date, time, location, weather, wind, cloud conditions, and your overall impressions each time you visit your place.
Draw-Many people hesitate to draw but don’t worry about the artistic quality of your sketches. Drawing is a great tool for recording information and will sharpen your ability to observe, identify and pick up on subtle details — you’ll come to terms with your subjects in new ways.
· Draw things you see overhead, landscapes, and even the small creatures.
· Do quick sketches: 15, 20, 30 seconds.
· Sketch something and then write notes beside and/or around the sketch.
Make Lists
The listing can celebrate your discoveries, keep your thoughts organized.
List what you see, smell, hear, feel, think about — lists can be about anything.
Reflect
Spend time writing about what you’ve observed and how it has affected you. Let your words flow without pausing to revise. Follow threads of thought to see where they take you.
Use All Your Senses
Hearing, Smelling, Touching, Sight and even Tasting
Use your resources; show your children that you do not need to Google everything. Take your notes and drawing compare them to field guides, consult dictionaries, try and build your nature vocabulary and an overall understanding of what you observe.
With this knowledge, you and your child will more clearly be becoming aware of the larger web of life on which we all depend. Perhaps the poet Gary Snyder said it best when he wrote, “Nature is not a place to visit, it is home.” So, take time to cherish the natural world as your home, and it will always reward you.

Your Child Should Go to Summer Camp


He was 10 and I knew he was looking for more than a summer of daycare, YouTube videos, and video games. So I wondered if an overnight summer camp in Wisconsin was the right choice for my son. Fast forward 5 summers, my son is 15 and has attended Swift Nature Camp for the last five summers. He loves it and we are going to send him back for as long as we can. Despite his ADHD he is very smart, yet has trouble at school with attention-seeking ploys. Summer camp seemed the perfect fit by helping him channel his energy all day and every day. Seems like camp has a very little downtime.
Jeff and Lonnie, along with enthusiastic counselors, provide an excellent atmosphere that encourages positive traits to rise to the surface. My son has developed greater peer understanding and empathy, greater self-confidence and trust, better leadership skills, an understanding of group dynamics and fair process and many other valuable lifelong skills. At first, I felt nervous about sending him to a place I had never seen. I talked to Jeff and Lonnie the directors over the phone before I signed him up for the Discovery Camp. A special program for the first time camper. Their willingness to discuss any question I had and their understanding of my fears made the decision easy.
Besides for talking to the Directors, I found the SNC website overly informative from pictures to videos. The parent section was extremely helpful for a reluctant mom. I love how the camp is set up. The cabins are by gender and age and do activities together, including laundry. Each afternoon the campers can pick from a variety of typical camp activities (arts & crafts, archery, swimming, Lego, horses, fishing, etc.). The camp is dedicated to environmental awareness, science, and nature. They have a nature center with microscopes and frogs and tadpoles and lots of hands-on activities. There is also a small petting zoo of well-adored animals. Of course, there is plenty of laughter, games, campfires, food, sports, fun, drama, singing, etc. that makes overnight (residential) camp an experience one remembers for their entire life.
As a parent, I appreciate that this isn’t a “sports camp” or “math camp” or something ultra-specific. Kids at SNC get to be kids and by experiencing all sorts of different activities and a diverse set of campers and counselors, learn more about themselves than at a specialized camp. My son has learned so much from this camp in the five years he has been attending. We have noticed a HUGE difference in his attitude, manners, and abilities. He is more mature, pleasant and competent. We would pay any price for the experiences and social education he has gained from ft SwiNature Camp.
We used to joke that you can find math, reading, or science tutors but no tutors in social skills. Well, we were wrong! This is exactly what my son needed at exactly the right time in his life. If you are thinking about an away summer camp for your child, please consider Swift Nature Camp. Primarily I think of it as a non-competitive, confidence-building camp where kids get to be kids free of technology. I know it is the best thing we ever did for our son. Thanks, Jeff, Lonnie and all the fabulous counselors, cooks, nurses, etc. We hope our son will join your camp as a counselor when he is older (it is a new goal of his)!

Why send a Child to Overnight Summer Camp?

Every summer millions of children go to an overnight summer camp. But Why? Oh sure, some parents just need daycare. But the vast majority of parents that are thinking about sending their child to overnight summer camp, do not take this responsibility lightly. They do their research by going to camp fairs, talking to friends, taking camp tours and chatting with references. Why do all this? Because when you select the right Overnight Summer Camp for your child, it will be a life changer and an experience they will want to repeat summer after summer.
So how does summer camp change kids lives? Not every camp is the same, so I can only speak about our overnight summer camp. Swift Nature Camp is located in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. We cater to children 6–15, with a leadership program for our 16 & 17-year-old campers. Our small camp blends old-fashioned camp activities on land and water, with environmental and nature learning. Plus we have a camp zoo, where children who love animals can even adopt one while they are at camp.
Here are ways that children’s lives are changed because of camp:
1) Great Staff- When you get young people who are dedicated to kids full time, your child feels it. Camp counselors have boundless energy and enthusiasm- something parents often lose as they get older. It’s like having the best big sister or brother in the world who really cares about you. They want you to be your best. So children look up to these counselors and since they are role modeling positive values, your child will pick those up and bring them home.
2) Communal Living- Yes, your child will be living in a cabin with 5–8 other children of their own age, building new friendships and developing strong new social circles. For most children, this is a new experience. When you live with others, you have to be a little less worried about yourself and be thinking more about others. That is part of the natural progression of kids from self to others. Camp pushes them a little further along this road.
3) Nature-This day and age we live our lives inside. There is a big beautiful world out there that children should learn about and they should not be afraid of. All of science is saying, humans, need to be connected to their environment, enjoy the beauty of the simple things in life. That’s why at SNC, we often take our kids to the lake to quietly enjoy a sunset.
4) Independence- Today we have so many types of parents, and often we see loving parents that hold their children back, not intentionally. But, sometimes they just don’t see that kids need and want to get out on their own, make decisions on their own and try new things. A Nature Camp is a safe place to try things, make mistakes and move on. This is all part of growing up and camp is the safe and supervised place this takes place.
5) Play is an amazing tool. It helps children get exercise, lose weight and feel better. More important, Free Play can help children resolve conflict, problem solve and be creative. Daily, at camp have 1.5 hours dedicated to free play, where campers can do the activities they want to do. This is like the old days when children could just go outside and play.
One thing we hear from parents every summer is “I wish I would have sent my child to Swift Nature Camp sooner” you see, childhood is a once-off thing. Too soon it’s over, and you can’t reclaim the years, but you can look back on incredible memories. That’s why summer camp is so important — it’s a fun, positive experience where children can simply be children and have the time of their lives. Overnight summer camp is a vital part of a child’s personal growth and development
It’s the small size and attention to detail that makes camp so successful at promoting each child’s personal development. Sending your child to Swift Nature Camp is a gift, one your child will cherish for the rest of their life. Maybe that’s why 92% of our campers want to return each summer.

The Secrets To Kids Summer Camps


Residential Summer Camp provides a place where boys and girls can practice Teamwork and Independence        http://swiftnaturecamp.com
Often when campers reflect upon their time living at summer camp they recall 3 critical things: 1- Living in a cabin with 9 other children, 2- Playing from sun up to sunset, 3- Being out in nature and most recently a 4th has been added that of being screen free!
These areas have been the foundation of summer camps for boys and girls for over 100 years. Today's children require these experiences even more than in the past.
Because like all of us, children have become too dependent on technology.
Adults have paved the way for children to learned that screens are their reality. So playing outside, making face to face connections and being responsible are less important than just a generation ago. Residential summer camp for boys and girls still provides these opportunities.
"Once you take a screen away from a child they return to explore their physical environment" says, Jeff Lorenz Director of Swift Nature Camp. Free play is often the result. at kids summer camps, children get out side they run, jump laugh and play for fun. Fun then has a new meaning because it is no longer digitally found like on MindCraft but in all the physical activities camps have to offer. Fairly quickly children realize how much time they spend on line and how they could be doing other things.
When girl and boy campers put down their phones and look up they notice the trees, animals and sky's that residential camps provide. Nature now takes on a new meaning because no longer is it a pixel on a screen but something they touch and become a part of. Jeff Lorenz, believes that the stick is one of the best toys a child can have. It promotes creativity, sharing and safety. Plus, they can even learn the science of a stick. Sadly many schools and parents feel they are to dangerous to be a toy.
Often, play then leads to face to face relationship building. When we look up from our screens we see the faces of those around us and begin to learn the skills that are needed to responsibly interact with others. A valuable skill this day, which is being lost.
Kids Summer Camps provides Campers a sense of independence and responsibility. How? By being responsible to their cabin mates to help keep their cabin and area clean during the summer. Campers learn to make their bed, wash their clothes and work with their camp friends . So in this one activity children learn: to communicate with each other, to problem-solve, to be responsible and to be accountable.
The best residential summer camp directors dissect all parts of a camp day and look for ways to give campers the opportunity to try new things and gain from those experiences. After all, camps in the Midwest are all about helping children live with others, Play outside, appreciate nature and become responsible parts of society.
