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.

Introducing your children to the fascinating biodiversity of amphibians and reptiles is the goal of this exciting camp experience. With a maximum of only 15 campers per session, they will have the opportunity to observe and learn about both tropical and native species in an interactive, safe environment. The campers will be prompted to ask questions about the animals and discover the answers through hands-on observation. Experienced and caring camp instructors will ensure that biosecurity protocols are followed from the beginning of the camp and maintained vigilantly throughout.
