Swift Nature Camp's Photo

Swift Nature Camp

25 Baybrook Ln Oak Brook, IL

< 1 mi

We are the "First TIme Camper" Specialists, our Discovery Camp is a nurturing program that is specifically designed for the child who has never been to sleepaway camp before. Our program is limited to less than 50 campers, all of whom are here for the first time. It is this attention to each child makes this program a success with nearly 93% of our campers wishing to return. Swift Nature Camp is for boys & girls ages 6-15. Our focus is to blend traditional summer camp activities while increasing a child's appreciation for nature, science and the environment. Our educational philosophy is to engage children in meaningful, fun-filled learning through active participation. We focus on a child's natural curiosity and self-discovery. This Outdoors Camp is NOT School. Our small size allows us to promote each child's personal development by providing fun, friendship and leadership in a supportive and noncompetitive environment. We build a child's character using our Tree of Values. Each cabin is named after a Value, such as, self-confidence, Teamwork, Leadership, Environmental Stewardship, and Persistence just to name a few. We believe the greatest part of camp is a child's personal development. No matter what skill level or interests your children have, Swift Nature Camp has activities that allows them to excel and enjoy. All activities are promoted in a nurturing, noncompetitive atmosphere, giving each camper the opportunity to participate and have fun, rather than worry about results. During our Explorer Camp (3wks) and Adventure Camp (6wks), campers participate in out-of-camp trips, such as biking, canoeing, backpacking and horse trips. This is the ultimate test of a camper's skill and knowledge. It's a reward to discover new worlds and be comfortable in them, whether the trip takes them down the Nemakagon River, a National Park Service Scenic River, or along the 1500 acre county forest contiguous to camp. These trips always create the best memories for our campers. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE . Swimming (Red Cross ranks and life saving) . Water skiing . Fishing . Sailing . Scuba Diving . Canoeing . Kayaking . Rollerblading (hockey) . Archery . Soccer . Camp Newspaper . Softball . Water Trampoline . Arts and Crafts (pottery, painting, leather craft) . Environmental Education . Astronomy . Geology .

We are currently in the process of getting Licienced Hello! My name is Suzanne. My sister and I run a day care in her Willowbrook home. We provide a loving home environment while you are away. We encourage friendship and cooperation among the families in our care. Most of the children that we care for begin as infants and remain in our care until school age. We form strong bonds with your children and treat them as if we are another set of parents. Some of our activities include coloring, crafts, and music class. We like to get outside whenever possible, whether it's on the swing set, on the trampoline, at the park, or just running around the yard or going for a walk. Plus in the summer we go to the splash pad a few times a week! We are patient and compassionate people and we pass these attributes on to the children that we care for. So if you are looking for a loving environment where your children can spend time when you cannot be with them, then contact Sisters Day Care with questions or to set up an interview. We look forward to hearing from you! Just want to let you know there are cats that live here

I have 29 years experience working with children in music and public elementary schools, YMCA, park district, daycare. I instructed child fitness classes, art/crafts classes, toddler programs, birthday parties. Currently I teach piano/voice at a local music school and privately late afternoons and evenings part time. We got a large yard with a Little Tykes playhouse, little slide and picnic table/benches for toddlers, playground park is 5 min walking distance. Inside I have a mini-trampoline, large exercising mats and age appropriate toys. I serve healthy meals, many homemade with organic milk, rBTS/rBGH free diary, most veggies/fruits organic, no toxic preservatives or dyes,no artificial colors in cereal, uncured hams, hotdogs. We do not buy pop drinks and we do not use white table sugar. We prefer stevia, honey, agave syrup and maple syrup. No harmful electromagnetic radiation - our router and modem are wired, home phone is corded. I attended an art school for eleven years and I like to do arts and crafts with children. We can sing and play on simple music instruments but piano lessons are optional too. Story times, games, outdoor fun with bubbles, parachute, chalk drawing. Children will have a lot of personal attention, less exposure to germs like you can find in large daycare centers. I can drive them to a preschool and activities as well, outings to parks, library, amusement places if parents agree and sign a permission.

I have 12 + years experience of childcare and caregiver. One year ago, I started babysitting 2 little girls, and they inspired me to start my own business. I started to enjoy my job as a provider and that's when I started looking more into opening my home to all kids. I'm CPR and First Aid and AED certified. I went to college to become a Medical Assistant and I graduated, but now I am looking forward to caring for children. I am a trustworthy person that loves kids, and kids love me. I have 5 kids of my own. I will provide a home made nutrition breakfast, lunch, and two snacks for your child. I can be trusted to care for your child with no worries. This is a caring home and your child will be welcome like a member of my family. You are more than welcome to have a tour of my home where your child will spend most of their day learning their ABC's, numbers, arts and crafts, play time walks to the park and zoo. If you are interested, please call Jessica: 773-968-1702.
