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.

We recognize the importance of creating a learning environment that fosters the development of the whole child and encourages practical, hands-on learning. This includes creating multiple connections between the mind, heart, and body. We are careful to not rush a child’s mental development and instead allow them to grow and develop at their own pace. Through thematic study, art, music, and story, we strive to create an emotional connection to the learning process and help children discover their creative fire. We believe in helping children reach their full potential by allowing them to ripen in their own time.
