Meet the Directors
May 5, 2024 in Oak Brook
Discovery Camp is the perfect summer camp for those campers that wish to have a little more support and encouragement for their first time away from home. Our goal at Discovery Camp is Fun along with New Adventures, but more importantly it's to help campers succeed in being away from home. Should homesickness creep in, we use those 12 days to get your child through their homesickness rather than getting stuck, counting the days till they get "saved". To ensure success, we want your child to end on a positive note feeling comfortable with their new independence, this sometimes takes a little extra time. At Swift Nature Camp we do not view ourselves as only child entertainment. No, we are part of your child's personal development and want to be an integral part of their ages & stages for years to come. Maybe that's why nearly 100% of the Children that participate in Discovery Camp want to return. Some even do later that same summer.
