New York, or as our cool imaginary character, a sunglasses-wearing, hot dog devouring squirrel named "Rusty Rodentino," likes to call it, "The Big Acorn," is a state of skyscrapers, bright lights, and non-stop action. It's where dreams are as big as the Empire State Building and as diverse as the people strolling through Central Park. Now, let's talk about those New York kids who love to play tennis. They're as fast and feisty as city taxis, and they can serve a ball faster than Rusty can scarf down a pretzel from a street cart. They spin, slice, and slam balls on the city's concrete courts, turning them into their own mini U.S Opens. Rusty often watches from a tree, holding his breath as the tennis ball whizzes back and forth, his bushy tail twitching with excitement. He quips, "These kids could give Serena Williams a run for her money, no squirrelly doubt about it!" These court conquerors, with determination as tough as New York bagels, play come rain or shine. When it's snowing, you'll find them building snowmen with tennis racquet arms, dreaming of their next tournament. These tennis-loving kids, along with Rusty, the cheeky metropolis squirrel, bring a unique charm to the bustling city of New York. They prove that whether you are serving an ace on the court or munching on a hot dog in Central Park, there's always an exciting story in the Big Acorn.

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.
