New Jersey - the land of endless diners, sandy beaches, and the unstoppable energy of kids who love to sing their hearts out. This tiny state, practically squished between New York and Pennsylvania, is actually an enormous playground for kids whose vocal cords can reach higher notes than the mighty hawk of High Point can screech. The story begins in a magical place called 'New Jersingdom,' where every morning is greeted by the chorus of kids practicing their "do-re-me"s. The leader of this melodic bunch is a delightful young chap named 'Johnny Jingle.' Johnny Jingle, with his twinkling blue eyes, freckled face, and wild curly hair that always looked like he'd been struck by a musical lightning bolt. Johnny would wake up each morning, brush his teeth in A-flat, and harmonize with the toasty bagels popping out of toasters all over town. Ah! The satisfying crunch of a well-toasted bagel, served with a side of a perfectly pitched high C. Every corner of New Jersingdom echoed with the vocal warmth of these kids practicing - from the bustling boardwalks of the Jersey Shore to the serene, grassy meadows of the Pine Barrens. Even the squirrel families in the trees had perfected their three-part harmonies! In New Jersey, whether you're in the city of Newark or the small town of Moorestown, children's laughter is always in tune, and their dreams are written in the universal language of music. These kids aren't just living in New Jersey; they're singing in New Jersingdom, and boy, do they hit all the right notes!

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.
