The smallest state in the United States, Rhode Island, is an eccentric spot with a heart as big as its name! This is where the Ocean State Guppies, our bunch of fearless young adventurers, reside. Rhode Island, or R.I. as the locals call it, is the pretty little gem stashed away in the northeast pocket of our nation, boasting a stunning coastline, historic towns, and scrumptious clam chowder that could make a walrus whistle with delight! Our Ocean State Guppies are not your typical Rhode Island kids; they are a quirky crew of fun-loving adventurers, always ready to tackle the Rope Course activity in their backyard. Rope Course activity is not a game for the faint-hearted. It's a dizzying maze of ropes strung together that you have to climb, swing, or shimmy across, all while staying sky-high! Scary? Not to our Guppies! Leading the Ocean State Guppies is our cool imaginary character, Daring Danny the Dolphin. He's a smooth-talking, sunglass-wearing, backflip-doing dolphin who moved from the ocean to Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay. Danny is as brave as they come, but he's got a wild sense of humor that can make a seagull snort! With a flip of his fin, he guides the Guppies through the rope course, cracking ocean-themed jokes that keep the kids laughing so hard, they barely notice when they've crossed the finish line. In this way, Rhode Island and the Ocean State Guppies are a lot alike - they may be small, but they know how to make a big splash! So if you're ever in the neighborhood, come and join Daring Danny and the Guppies for a rope-swinging, belly-laughing, clam-chowder-eating good time!

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.
