Welcome to the dazzling, itsy-bitsy state of Rhode Island, a place so compact that you could sneeze, and accidentally find yourself in a different town! Don't let its size fool you, though. This little gem, flanked by the magnificent Atlantic Ocean, is brimming with wonder and excitement. In this wonderful realm, there exists a group of extraordinary kids known as the "Tootin' Rhode Rascals". These aren’t your average, run-of-the-mill youngsters. Oh no! They are Rhode Island's proudest brigade of instrument-playing wizards. Let's meet Tuba Timmy, the jolly leader of the gang. With his round glasses perched upon his freckled nose, he can make his tuba sing and dance like a jubilant jellyfish, playing tunes that can tickle your toes and make seagulls groove. Then there's Clarinet Clare. Don't be fooled by her shy demeanor. With a swift flick of her fingers, she can make her clarinet whistle like the wind, creating melodies that make the sunflowers in the fields sway to her tunes. And who can forget Drummer Danny? With his mop of curly hair and a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, he can make his drums roll and rumble like a friendly thunderstorm, setting a rhythm that can make even the grumpiest Rhode Island clam clatter its shell in applause. These Tootin' Rhode Rascals, with their infectious laughter and enchanting symphonies, fill the air of Rhode Island with an orchestra of joy and friendship. They take the smallest state and fill it up with the biggest tunes, proving that size doesn't matter when your heart is filled with music.

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.
