If you are looking for the perfect 1st time camp experience consider our Discovery Camp. It is designed for those children that might need a bit more attention their first time at camp or just want a shorter time away. Yet, some campers prefer to jump right in and start their camp experience with our 3 & 6 week programs, and that's OK. Regardless of session you pick, all activities are the same, except Discovery campers will not go on any overnight trips out of camp. The choice is up to each family. 

Trying to figure out if overnight camp is right for your child.
Here are some articles that answer these important questions.
 

1) What Are the Benefits of Camp?
2) Is My Child Ready For Overnight Camp?
 
If this is your child's first time at overnight summer camp, please do the research to ensure that it will be a successful experience for your child. Success is the reason our program is 12 day long. We have found that shorter sessions are much more entertainment based than personal growth based. More time allows us to get deeper and know each child better. The best way to measure success at camp is after they return. Are they more confident leaving home, Do they ask "How can I help" and Do they know better how to build relationships (with out a phone). Our goal at Swift Nature Camp is more than fun activities it is helping little people become better adults. Please read more how Discovery Camp is different than other camps. It is important that parents feel comfortable with their decision and with us. so please read Who We Are or give us a call (630-654-8036) we love to talk camp.
