Camp SwiftFor more than 35 years, the Camp Swift overnight camp program has enabled us to provide economically disadvantaged youth with a free residential summer camp experience while simultaneously providing teen counselors with opportunities to volunteer and make a real impact. At Camp Swift, we provide campers and counselors with nutritious meals, physical activity, and a safe environment where they can learn and play – all while fostering positive mentor relationships between youth and teens. Activities are led by high school and college-aged volunteers acting as role models for making positive choices in health, physical activity and behavior.
