Linking Camps and Campers Since 1995
Located in Wisconsin with ties to Illinois, Swift Nature Camp is an overnight nature and animal-focused summer program for children aged 6 to 17. It combines animal care education with more than forty outdoor land and water activities ranging from hiking and canoeing to arts and crafts and sailing. This camp encourages campers to develop personal responsibility, kindness, and resilience while enjoying various fun-filled experiences at the petting zoo and through educational programs about animals and nature. Unique to the camp is the allowance for campers to bring their own pets, fostering a deeper connection with animals. Known for its welcoming and nurturing atmosphere, the camp prioritizes creating friendships and growth opportunities in a safe, small community setting, supported by convenient transportation options. Parents appreciate the camp’s emphasis on teaching children life skills alongside engaging recreation.
