Swift Nature Camp has a blog that gives campers and the rest of the world a opportunity to check us out. We have plenty of articles every few days going up. I have taken the time to show you a few from our <a href='http://www.swiftnaturecamp.com/blog.html'>Summer Camp Blogs</a>.
<BR><BR>Expect to capsize and swim occasionally when paddling a canoe, kayak or raft - it's part of the sport! But when you hit the water unexpectedly, even strong swimmers need a lifejacket, also known as a personal flotation device (PFD). It allows you to concentrate on doing what's needed to execute a self rescue and will allow you to assist others. Nearly 70% of all drowning involving canoes, kayaks or rafts might have been avoided if the victim had been wearing a lifejacket! We at Swift Nature Camp believe that your child's safety is the most important part of camp. That is why we have a strict Lifejacket rule. Everyone must wear a PDF when in a boat. No exceptions, staff and campers alike. This is true if on a river canoe trip or on on our own camp lake. Water is so much fun and kids love it but it is dangerous and we must be prepared. We even have a special "titanic test" to ensure that our lifejacket fits nice and snug in case of an emergency. Campers learn this the first day of camp.
<BR><BR>Who does not love Ice Cream with all the trimmings? If you have been to Swift Nature Camp...you know this site all to well. It is that special time when instead of going into town and getting Ice Cream at the best ice cream store in the world the Village Scoop we get to have Ice Cream at camp. What a joy it is We have camp counselors hand it out and put on all the good stuff. You know sprinkles, chocolate sauce and even a cherrie. Of course the real deal is you have to earn Ice Cream at Swift Nature Camp, it is not all that hard to do...JUST KEEP YOUR CABIN CLEAN FOR INSPECTION!
<BR><BR>Let nature be a part of your clay work by taking a smooth slab of clay and press natural forms into it so that they leave intricate textures. You know, acorns, twigs, leaves, and tree bark, they all leave amazing patterns. then this can be turned in to a vase or some other vessel or just a fired the way it is.
<BR><BR>Swift Nature Camp's summer pottery program is going to be one of our most exciting programs in the summer of 2009. There's almost an endless variety of pottery projects to make which you can take back to home your family and friends
<BR><BR>One might wonder are you eating all these favorite catches. Nope they can spend on night up at the Nature Center Zoo where they hang with the other animals anc catches then its back to where they were caught at. Next summer, join us for some serious frog catching
<BR><BR>So when you are thinking about camp it is easy to think about all the activities. However, Summer Camp is so much more! Children's summer camp is more like the real world, the social benefits of this, multicultural experience are significant. Research has shown getting children ready for a multicultural world only helps them be more successful in life. Camp provides less competitiveness making it much easier to make and keep your summer camp friends.Ask any camper what makes Swift Nature Camp so special and they will tell you it's "the new camp friends". But ask them why any? And they will tell you it's because they accept me for who I am often unlike my friends at home. I can do stuff at camp that I can never tell my friends back home about.
<BR><BR>Ever heard of Google Earth? Well, it lets you find everywhere! Including Swift Nature Camp! Can you find it here? A hint look at the bottom of the photo and you will see town...Maybe even the Village Scoop Ice Cream Shop. From there, go north and to the West. Still not sure? Try signing up for google earth and take a fly by. If you don't know where to look try just typing in Swift Nature Camp and it will fly you right to camp. It is so much easier than taking the bus.
