Welcome to the sunny, sandy, surfer paradise of California, where the Pacific Ocean winks with a sparkling blue eye and the sequoia trees stretch up to tickle the sky! This is the land of adventurous spirits, where kids are not just ordinary kids, oh no! They are the radical, rambunctious “Kaya-kids” - the coolest gang of youngsters who sail the waterways with the power of a tidal wave! Our story centers around the Kaya-kids, a crew of brave, hilarious, and quirky children who have mastered the art of kayaking better than Captain Jack Sparrow could command a pirate ship! They're led by the fearless and funny Kaya-King, a ten-year-old boy with hair as wild as the white-water rapids, and freckles that dance across his cheeks like constellations. In the balmy California mornings, as the sun peeks over the horizon, the Kaya-kids gather at the edge of serene lakes, rivers that twist and turn like a roller coaster, and the grinning mouth of the mighty Pacific Ocean. With one foot firmly planted on their colorful kayaks, the Kaya-kids would pull on their neon life-vests, slap on their sunblock, adjust their superhero-inspired goggles, and burst into a chorus of laughter before pushing off into the water. Whether they're breaking free from the foamy jaws of a wild wave, navigating the peaceful paths of a lazy river, or having an epic splash war in a calm lake, these Californian Kaya-kids are the heart and soul of this wild adventure called kayaking. With a splash of humor and a wave of bravery, these rambunctious sea-dragons light up the golden coast with their laughter and love for the water.

Nestled in 178 acres of lush woodland is a serene escape from the city, a place fondly known as Camp Swamp. This overnight Christian camp, located just two hours east of bustling Atlanta, has been serving as a peaceful retreat since 1992. We like to think of it as our own "little slice of heaven," offering a respite from the daily hustle and bustle, and inviting people to reconnect with nature and their spirituality. Our primary offering is a week-long summer camp, but we've expanded over the years to include more than just summer fun. As part of our mission to support families and churches, we now also host three family camps throughout the year, as well as four parent/child retreats. These events offer a chance for families to bond, parents to connect with their children, and individuals to grow in their faith. Moreover, our facilities are not exclusive to our organized events. Camp Swamp also offers rentals to schools, churches, universities, sports teams, and even business groups. Whether you're planning a camp, a retreat, or a team-building excursion, our serene setting and well-equipped facilities provide the ideal backdrop for an unforgettable experience.
