In the magical, sun-drenched state of Florida where talking alligators wear sunglasses and palm trees sway like happy hula dancers, there is a special tribe of kids known as the 'Mini Golf Masters'. These aren't your regular, run-of-the-mill, video-game-playing, comic-book-reading kids. No, siree! These kids have the power to transform windmills, castles, and even a pirate ship into their very own mini-golf courses. They are the swashbucklers of the tiny greens, the knights of the dimpled ball, the princesses and princes of the plastic putter.

Our tale begins in the heart of a sizzling summer, when these Mini Golf Masters gather for the annual 'Sunshine Showdown'. Their leader, a cool dude named 'Captain Birdie', is a twelve-year-old whiz kid who can putt a ball through a loop-de-loop, over a grinning crocodile, and into a hole with one eye closed, standing on one foot, and eating a popsicle all at the same time. His neon green hat, always worn backward, is his lucky charm and he's as famous for his funny jokes as he is for his incredible golfing skills. 

This motley crew of mini golfers, with their brightly colored golf balls, laughter ringing louder than seagull squawks, and determination as unshakeable as a Florida orange tree, are the heart and soul of Florida's mini golf scene. Adventure awaits at every corner, every course a new tale waiting to unfold. So, if you're in Florida, keep an eye out for these masters of the mini green; you might just be the next recruit for the 'Mini Golf Masters'!

Dear Families, 

Welcome to the wonderful world of Swift Nature Camp an overnight camp for boys and girls ages 6-15 located in the beautiful Northwoods of Wisconsin. 

 I’m Lonnie, the Camp Director, and I’m thrilled to share what makes SNC such a special place for kids and families alike. For nearly 30 years, our mission has been to create an environment where children can grow, discover, and make lifelong memories. Here at camp, we focus on friendship, personal development, and a deep connection to nature—all in a fun, supportive, and adventurous setting. All this without cell phones
One of the things that sets Swift Nature Camp apart is our focus on fostering independence and confidence. Whether it’s trying a new activity like canoeing, taking on a leadership role in a group project, or simply navigating life away from home, camp provides endless opportunities for personal growth. We celebrate each camper’s unique personality and encourage them to step outside their comfort zone in a safe and nurturing way. Seeing kids gain new skills and pride in their accomplishments is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

For our youngest campers, Discovery Camp is an especially magical experience. Designed only for first-time campers ages 6-12, this shorter program gives kids a chance to experience the joys of camp life in a way that’s just right for them. It’s amazing to watch these kids try new things—from learning about the natural world to singing campfire songs—and leave camp with big smiles and even bigger stories to tell. Discovery Camp is often the beginning of a long and cherished relationship with SNC, and we’re so proud to see those first-time campers grow into confident and capable young people.

Another cornerstone of Swift Nature Camp is our connection to the environment. We believe that nature isn’t just a backdrop for camp; it’s a teacher, a playground, and a source of endless wonder. Through hands-on activities like pond studies, wildlife observation, and outdoor adventures, campers develop an appreciation for the natural world that stays with them long after camp ends. The Camp Zoo is always a favorite, campers can even adopt a pet while at camp.Our goal is to inspire kids to become curious, mindful stewards of the environment.

At Swift Nature Camp, there’s never a dull day! With hundreds of land and water activities, campers are always engaged and excited. On land, some favorites include the Lego Cabin, Arts & Crafts, Archery, and exploring the Nature Center. On the water, campers learn Canoeing, Fishing, and Swimming, but the absolute favorites are Tubing behind the boat and jumping off the Water Trampoline. Never is there a dull day because every day is packed with fun, adventure, and opportunities to try something new.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the amazing friendships that form here. SNC is a place where kids truly feel like they belong. Campers and counselors alike bring warmth, kindness, and enthusiasm to everything we do, creating a strong sense of community. Whether it’s cheering each other on during a game, collaborating on a creative project, or sharing laughs around the campfire, the bonds formed at Swift Nature Camp are something truly special.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children. It’s an honor to be part of their journey and to help create memories that will last a lifetime. If you have any questions or just want to chat about camp, don’t hesitate to reach out. I can’t wait to see what the next camp season holds and to welcome your family to another amazing summer at Swift Nature Camp.

Abacoa Golf Club is thrilled to announce an upcoming three-month renovation project this summer. During this time, the club will be restoring the greens back to their original size, utilizing the same TifEagle grass to ensure a seamless match to the remaining surface. Additionally, we are reducing the severity of the slope on the 13th green and renovating the bunkers with G-Angle sand for the highest quality sand. To top it off, a new irrigation system will be installed to optimize turf quality.

Unfortunately, there may be some inconvenience during this time, and we ask for your patience and understanding. However, we are confident that these changes will result in a better golf experience come October 2022.
