In the charming and peachy state of GA, where the sun shines brighter and the peaches taste sweeter, a group of kids, known as The Saddle Scamps, ruled the horseback riding scene. Georgia, or GA as the cool kids say, was their grand playground - a paradise filled with majestic mountains, thick forests, and lush grasslands that stretched as far as the eye could see. These Saddle Scamps weren't your everyday youngsters. Oh no! They were fearless adventurers, riding their horses with confidence and style. Each day they would meet at the butt crack of dawn, saddled up on their trusty steeds, ready to explore all that GA had to offer. There was freckle-faced Annie with her fiery red hair, always leading the pack on her horse, Sherbet. Then there was Alfie, the quiet one, who could tame any wild horse with just one look from his eye patch - a souvenir from a pirate-themed birthday party gone wrong. Every day was a new adventure for The Saddle Scamps. They would ride through the apple orchards of Ellijay, gallop alongside the rivers in Blue Ridge, and race each other down the city streets of Atlanta. Their laughter echoed throughout GA, as they sought adventure, made new friends, and of course, got into a fair share of mischief. Their most loyal companion, Mr. Wiggles, the talking squirrel with an outrageous British accent, often rode in Alfie's pocket and provided hilarious commentary on their escapades. "Oh, BLIMEY! You call that a gallop, Alfie? I've seen snails move faster!" he would chortle, sending the kids into fits of laughter. Together, they were the brave adventurers, the fearless horse riders, the heart and soul of GA - They were The Saddle Scamps!

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.
