In the magical, moose-loved state of Maine, there's a mighty group of kids who have discovered the mystical secrets of volleyball. They operate under the name "The Lobster Slammers", drawing inspiration from the state's famous crustacean - the lobster. Their secret weapon isn't just their incredible, lobster-like reflexes, but their devoted coach, a cool imaginary character named "Captain Clam". With a lighthouse for a hat and his body shaped like a lobster pot, he's as Maine as you can get! His eyes sparkle like the waters of the Atlantic, and his voice booms like the foghorns in the misty harbor. Captain Clam has a remarkable method of training. He uses magical floating blueberries - Maine's official state fruit - for practice. The kids have to aim their serves and spikes just right to burst the hovering blueberries. If they succeed, they're rewarded with a delightful splash of blueberry juice. Word on the street is that this magical blueberry juice gives these players their incredible power on the court. These extraordinary Maine kids, powered by blueberries and guided by Captain Clam, have become the talk of the volleyball world. They are a testament to the power of teamwork and the spirit of fun. Whether it's a scrimmage on the sandy beaches of Old Orchard or a championship game in a bustling gym, their laughter can be heard echoing across the Pine Tree state. Who would've thought that the mix of lobsters, lighthouses, and the sport of volleyball could be so hilariously fantastic?

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.

Dr. George Alexander Kohut, a literary scholar and educator with a vision to provide a healthy and character-building outdoor experience, founded Kamp Kohut in 1907. Coming from the heat and pollution of the city, he ran a boys' school in New York, hence calling it "Kohut's School for Boys". At Kamp Kohut, we pay special attention to the individual qualities of each camper. We understand that each child has different needs and interests and we strive to make sure that all campers have a truly special summer experience. We provide close supervision and carefully orchestrated detail to ensure that each child’s camp experience is successful.
