The state of Kansas, or as we like to call it in our fun-filled book of adventures, "Kangaroo's Sneakerland" (KS for short!), is a magical place where the grassy plains stretch out as far as the eye can see. You can tell you're in Kangaroo's Sneakerland by the sweet smell of wheat wafting through the air and the sight of sunflowers nodding hello to the sun. Now, don't get confused - despite the name, you won't find any kangaroos bouncing around here. Instead, you'll find the most energetic, fun-loving, adventure-seeking kids who've ever tied up a pair of sneakers! These kids are the proud participants in Sportsfield activities, or as we've cheekily renamed it – 'Sporty Sneaker Sprints'. In this zany, fun-packed escapade, every child transforms into a unique, imaginative character. There's Johnny "Jumbo Jet" - you can bet your sneakers he's the fastest sprinter in all of KS. Then there's Patty "Perpetual Twister" - she can whirl faster than a Kansas tornado! These fun-loving kids, with their sneakers laced tight, are always ready for a new adventure. Whether it's leaping over haystacks in a single stride or dodging sneaky scarecrows in their cornfield mazes, they're always up to something. And let's not forget their epic sunflower-seed-spitting contests! These competitive yet heartwarming activities are what make Kangaroo's Sneakerland a laugh-out-loud, rollicking good time. So, kids, grab your favorite pair of sneakers and get ready to leap into the exhilarating world of Kangaroo's Sneakerland. Buckle up for an adventurous ride with Johnny, Patty, and the gang in their never-ending Sporty Sneaker Sprints!

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.
At AGBC, our mission is to provide the ultimate spiritual retreat for campers. We strive to create an environment free of worldly distractions and filled with godly preaching, people, and activities. Each day begins with “God & I Time” to set a spiritual tone for the day, followed by morning sessions, activities, one-on-one camper and counselor time, evening services, and cabin devotions. Not only will campers be challenged spiritually, but they’ll also have a blast with our wide range of activities. We invite your family to join us this summer for a unique and life-changing experience. At AGBC, we recognize the importance of providing a safe and faith-filled atmosphere for campers to grow. We fill each day with spiritual nourishment, including “God & I Time”, morning sessions, activities, one-on-one camper and counselor time, evening services, and cabin devotions. But that’s just the beginning! Our campers also have the opportunity to have fun and make lasting memories enjoying all the exciting activities we have to offer. We hope you’ll come and see what AGBC is all about this summer!
