In the magical land of Delaware, where the ocean waves whisper bedtime stories to the sand, and the cornfields rustle in laughter, there lived a quirky bunch of kids who loved karate. They weren’t just ordinary kids, oh no! They were superkids who could punch faster than a rabbit on roller skates and kick higher than a giraffe's hiccups! The state of Delaware, or "DE" as these ninjas-in-training like to call it, is often mistaken for just a tiny speck on the United States map. But don't let its size fool you! It's a pretty big deal, brimming with history, nature, and a charm that would make a witch's broom blush. The karate kids of DE were led by none other than the mighty, the mystical, Captain Delaware Doodle - a giggly, noodle-loving, chipmunk-sized superhero with a black belt in karate and a bachelor’s degree in funniness. Captain DE Doodle was always ready with a joke, turning every karate session into a laughing riot. "Why don't we tell secrets in cornfields?" he'd ask the kids, his tiny eyes twinkling in mischief. "Because the corn has ears!" And the dojo would echo with the children's laughter. As the sun bid goodbye painting the Delaware sky with hues of pink and orange, these little karate champs would gather around Captain DE Doodle for an end-of-day giggle. Even in a place as small as Delaware, their laughter was the biggest, their dreams the tallest, and their karate kicks... well, let's just say even the stars could feel them!

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.
