Why Go to Camp in Minnesota
For the past few year I have been going to a summer camp in Minnesota. Sure many of my friends think its crazy to leave home for a few weeks every summer and spend stay out in the middle of the woods with folks I do not know. But, during one cold winter day I decided to sit down and put my thoughts why summer camp was such an important place for me as a kid.
So here you go…
The North woods of Minnesota is more than the pristine beauty of lakes, forests and eagles flying overhead. To me it’s Minnesota Summer Camp! Swift Nature Camp is so much more than another home with another family.
This summer home is filled with acceptance, love, encouragement, and true, down to earth friends who you will end up calling your camp family. Your counselors act as parents, older siblings, etc. They are great people to look up to. The campers are great friends for life. You may even end up looking at them as siblings. Acceptance is everywhere, no one kicks you out of the cabin because of who you are. Your uniqueness is celebrated. This is the main reason why I love Swift Nature Camp…it’s so much more than just having fun.
Activities are everywhere at summer camp, there is so much to do. Here are just a few: Archery, Swimming, Fishing, Boating, Tubing, and Riflery. You are never bored and active all day long. The counselors help you get better regardless of that your skill level is. All activities are noncompetitive and so we all support each other, rather than worry who is best.
I’ll never forget the great out of camp trips we took like the Superior Hiking Trail. What an adventure! I loved being in the of the forest. overlooking Lake Superior. The wildlife was wonderful too we saw hawks, bald eagles, & deer. This is why I love Overnight Summer Camp in Minnesota.
Cabin life is all about learning about others. We come from all over America and even other countries, to meet at a Minnesota Summer Camp. In each cabin there are 10 campers and 2 very kind counselors. Our goal is to become a team for the 3 or 6 weeks we are there. Sure, we had our fights, but always they are resolved and we grow closer because of them.
The Camp Zoo is a great place to learn about Nature and the Environment. This is nothing like ******. It is all done hands on and fun. There are all kinds of animals, you can even bring your own. I think of this as an Animal Camp first with all sorts of other things to do.
I’m returning to Swift Nature Camp for all these reasons. I love camp and hope to be a Counselor in training when I’m sixteen and then a counselor when I’m eighteen. So, I’ll see yawl in the North woods of Minnesota this summer!
