Welcome to the wonderland of Wisconsin, a magical adventure jam-packed with shimmering lakes and rivers that criss-cross like an incredible maze. It's a place where the maple trees grow so tall, they tickle the bellies of passing clouds and the cows have their own secret language. But the real stars of Wisconsin aren't on land, oh no! They are the fearless kids of the Wisconsin Water Wizards. The Wizards are not ordinary kids, they are boating and canoeing enthusiasts who can slice through water faster than a cheesecutter through Wisconsin cheddar. They’ve got boats with names like "Rapid Rascal" and "Wave Whacker," and canoes labeled "The Splish-Splash Express." They embark on rip-roaring adventures, taking on the roaring rivers with laughter echoing through the valleys and leaving a trail of awe-struck fish in their wake. There's the brave and boisterous Billy, who once paddled so hard he created a mini whirlpool. His best friend, the quick-witted Lily, can paddle in patterns so intricate that they look like dancing water art from above. And let's not forget about the mischievous twins, Sam and Pam, who love a good water fight, often surprising their fellow wizards with a sudden splash. Every day is a wet and wild adventure in Wisconsin, where the water whispers tales of bravery and fun, and the kids never forget their sunscreen or life jackets. For the Wisconsin Water Wizards, every ripple and wave is a page in their never-ending water chronicle, a story as vast and enchanting as Wisconsin itself. So, hop aboard, and brace yourself for a splashing great time, because the Wizards are ready to paddle towards their next rip-roaring escapade.

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.
At House In The Wood, we believe in the power of nature to help children and young adults grow and develop. We understand that a safe and natural setting can be just as formative as the urban environment. That’s why our program focuses on introducing adult role models who can provide essential guidance and serve as positive examples of responsibility and leadership. We strive to create a positive atmosphere that allows young people from underserved communities to be themselves and thrive. Our Summer Camp, Outdoor Education, and Leader In Training programs are designed to help disrupt generational poverty and foster growth and responsibility in our children and young adults. With the ultimate goal of returning these young people to their communities prepared for leadership roles, House In The Wood has been empowering children and building strong communities since 1910.
