Who will find success at SNC?

Children Playing

At the end of each year, over 90% of our campers wish to return. So, the answer is easy: nearly all children will enjoy SNC. Our campers tend to be bright, curious and creative children who enjoy the company of adults and kids alike.

They are good kids who are filled with kindness. The kids are happy with their new found independence and wake up every day ready to enjoy being outdoors in nature and looking forward to the adventures in store.

Our History

Ernie Swift

At Swift Nature Camp, we are carrying on the tradition of pioneer environmentalist Ernie Swift (1897 - 1968). As one of the first conservation department wardens of Wisconsin, Ernie strove to preserve and teach environmental awareness. Ernie eventually rose to serve as the department's Director and later he was appointed by President Eisenhover as the Assistant Director of the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. When asked, Ernie would say his best work was as the Executive Director of the National Wildlife Federation.
