Pennsylvania, or as it's affectionally known by our cool imaginary character, Super Squirrel Chip, as "Acornville," is a dreamland for kids with a heart full of adventure and eyes full of wonder. Surrounded by soaring peaks, dense forests, and meandering rivers, it's a magical playground where trees touch the sky, and the sky dances with a pallet of colors every dawn and dusk. In one corner of Acornville, you'll find the fearless Zip-Whizzers, a group of kids who are as daring as they are fun-loving. These young daredevils, with their helmets shining like knights' armor and laughter ringing louder than the swish of the wind, regularly whizz through the air on their favorite pastime - zip lining! Now, you might wonder, "Why are these kids called Zip-Whizzers?" Well, according to Chip, it's because they whizz past so fast on their zip lines that all you see is a blur and hear a cheerful 'whizzzz'. They zip line over gurgling creeks, across mysterious valleys, and through the leafy canopies of the tallest trees. And oh, the laughter! It's as if each zip line ride tickles their funny bones, turning the forest into a giant laugh box. Once, Chip tried to join them but ended up clinging to the line, hollering for acorns! That day, the woods echoed with an extra dose of laughter. So, in the magical land of PA, the Zip-Whizzers are the jolliest, bravest, and definitely the fastest kids around. And Super Squirrel Chip? Well, let's just say he's still working on his zip-lining skills!

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.
