At long last, parents of children who are going to summer camp for the first time have a choice. A Summer Camp directly tailored to the needs of their child. After listening for years to parents and children expressing what they feel is important for a positive first time summer camp experience, Jeff and Lonnie Lorenz, directors of Swift Nature Camp, have created Discovery Camp, a program designed to meet the specific needs of all new campers and their parents.
ABeginning Summer Camp program is offered near Minong, Wisconsin at the Swift Nature Camp. Two of our dedicated trained staff live in each cabin of 6 camper. We know this might be your child's first time away from home. It's so important that every camper feels comfortable in knowing that a staff member is near at all times. Feeling special is what every child needs and deserves, that's our first priority. We foster the sense that camp is there for the kids and exists only for their benefit.
Our staff studies each camper personal profile. We look for specific individual needs as we learn about each child and gain awareness of their wants, needs and fears. If any camper has medical circumstances or special needs these will discussed by the staff in confidence with the camp nurse. By the time a child arrives at camp, the staff will feel as if they already know that new camper. This preparation is immediately beneficial to the first-time camper from the moment he or she steps off the bus and is warmly and personally greeted.
The first day of Discovery Camp is Orientation Day. New campers get a complete tour of Swift Nature Camp, including a visit to the Health Center, the Mail Box, and every activity area. Every activity is introduced with a discussion about the importance of safety and the basic safety information for that activity.
Staff members work hard to promote an atmosphere of nurturing and harmonious friendship from the campers' first day of cabin life. There is a Respect List for all to agree to and sign, and each night will end with a bedtime story. The cabin is the place where community begins. First time campers are gently brought into a sense of connection and community with others who begin on equal footing.
Discovery Camp is so special for First Time Campers because it's a well rounded program with a variety of camp activities. Morning activities are instructional, activities include Swimming, Canoeing, Nature Center, Arts and Crafts, Archery, and more. Campers are encouraged to try new and different activities, giving each of them the opportunity to discover and explore what activities he or she might enjoy and eventually excel in. This challenge by choice and never forced. choice from the Our daily activity board, provides camper many activities to choose from each afternoon.
Our goal at Swift Nature Camp is to encourage each child to learn independence in a safe, age appropriate environment. Often parents ask: "why 12 days?" We have found it to be the optimum time for a first time camper to leave homesickness behind and gain a comfortable sense of autonomy. Their has to be enough time passing that campers can not just count the days till their parents return. Probably, the greatest lesson camp teaches is that one can leave home and return . To which very few things will have changed.
The directors of Swift Nature Camp think it's important that parents know that their children's first time away from home is in a safe, nurturing and secure environment. As a part of the Discovery Camp's first timer program, parents are encouraged to visit at any time after the first five days.
