Swift was the BEST camp i have ever attended! the staff was caring, the whole camp was maintained perfectly and every cabin participated in frequent and awesome activities. They pay attention to table manners and make them fun. SNC has changed me as a person inside and out. with a limit of around 2 or 3 candies a week, it was a very healthe 2 weeks. I wait eagerly for the summer so that I can attend once again. -Gaby, A Former Camper.
The Swift Nature Camp offers kids an opportunity to mature and be on their own while having the support and help from the staff. The kids can bring their pet to the camp and get in touch with the nature. After 6 weeks at the camp, my 13 years old son became more responsible and thankful person. He is better organized at home and in school. He is going to the Swift Nature Camp this summer again.
This camp was a god send. I have sent my kids to numerous YMCA camps but nothing even compares to Swift. The love and compassion Lonnie and Jeff give to these kids is amazing. they make every kid feel very loved and cared for. This was my girls first year here. I was a little nervous sending them so far away for 3 weeks but Lonnie let me come and visit them on the weekends.When I came up to camp my girls were so happy I have not seen them just frre and careless in a long time. all they had were great stories about all the fun things they had done and the great Ice cream Jeff took them to go get down town. If you truly want your kids to have the best time of their life’s send them to Swift. My girls are begging to go to the 6 week camp. I’m already saving up. God bless you Lonnie and Jeff. You really made a difference in my girls life. Signed Joanne Martinez ( Bela and Rosie’s mom)
My kids love this camp. My daughter had a chance to go to Europe two summers ago but she said that she could go to Europe when she is older! Great, good old fashion camp with loads to do. No competitive pressures. Great staff.
