Summer Camp Specially for First Timer
Monday, March 1st, 2010Parents have you ever thought about Summer Camp? Not quite sure how to start the search? Now, it is easy! A camp tailored to the needs of of children who are going for the first time has been created. Swift Nature Camp’s directors, Jeff and Lonnie Lorenz, After listening for years to parents and children, have created a special 12 day program specific to meet the needs of all new campers and their parents.
AFirst Time At 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 camp is Orientation Day it is a special day when all New campers get an in-depth tour of Swift Nature Camp. This includes a visit to the Health Center, the Mail Box, and each activity area. Every activity is introduced with a discussion about the importance of safety and the basic safety information for that activity.
The goal of the staff is to promote a caring, nurturing friendship with the children. The first day campers write 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.
One of the things that makes Discovery Camp, so special forFirst Time Campers is it’s well rounded variety of camp activities. During morning activities campers are invited to instruction at two activity areas. These 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 is always done as a challenge by choice. In the afternoon, campers make their choice from the daily activity board.
Swift Nature Camp aims to encourage each child to learn independence in a safe, age appropriate environment. The twelve day first-timer program is set up to run the optimum length of time for a first time camper to leave homesickness behind and gain a comfortable sense of autonomy. For many of these campers the greatest first lesson camp teaches them is that they can leave home, return days later and find out that very few things will have changed, especially their parents’ love for them.
The directors of Swift Nature Camp think it’s important that parents feel confident their child’s first time away from home is in a safe, nurturing and secure environment.
