Choosing an overnight or sleepaway camp can be a daunting task, especially if it’s your first time sending your child away for an extended period. With so many options available, it’s important to consider a variety of factors when making your decision. Here are some tips to help you choose the right camp for your first time camper.

1. You might consider an overnight summer camp that has an exclusive program only for new campers. At Swift Nature Camp, we understand that starting at a new camp can be overwhelming for some campers, which is why we created a special program just for them. Our experienced staff is dedicated to making the transition as smooth and enjoyable as possible, so campers can start their camp journey on the right foot. Success is gurantted at Discovery Camp

2. Consider your child's interests and personality. Choose a camp that aligns with your child's interests and personality. If your child loves the outdoors and adventure, a nature camp like Swift Nature Camp could be the perfect fit. If they are more interested in sports or the arts, look for a camp that offers those activities.

3. Check the camp's safety protocols and certifications. Ensure that the camp you choose follows strict safety protocols and is certified by recognized organizations. Swift Nature Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association, which means that we meet or exceed over 300 standards for camper safety and well-being.

4. Research the camp's staff and their qualifications. The staff is the heart of any camp, so it’s important to ensure that they are well-trained and qualified to work with children. Swift Nature Camp hires staff members who have experience working with kids and who have a passion for outdoor education.

5. Visit the camp before making a decision. If possible, visit the camp in person to get a feel for the environment and meet the staff. Swift Nature Camp offers tours of our facilities and encourages parents to come and see what we have to offer.

6. Read reviews and ask for references. Read online reviews and ask for references from parents who have sent their children to the camp before. Swift Nature Camp has a great track record of happy campers and satisfied parents, and we are happy to provide references upon request.
