In the farthest northeastern corner of the United States, there exists a magical realm known as Maine, or the ME state for short. Maine is not your ordinary state, oh no! It’s a place where the sun wakes up the majestic mountains, the deep woods whisper stories of old, and the sapphire sea dances with glittering waves. Now, in Maine, there's a special group of quirky kids fondly known as the "Field Trip Troop". They are the most adventurous, curious, and funny bunch of young explorers you could ever meet. Each one of them has a unique laugh that can tickle the belly of a bear into a giggling fit. Their leader, a cool imaginary character named Captain Crabapple, is as mischievous as he is wise, always ready with a joke, a riddle, or a silly face to lighten their journey. Captain Crabapple, with his bright red rubber boots and a hat perpetually cocked at a rakish angle, guides the Field Trip Troop through fascinating journeys. They trek through the dense forests, learning the language of leaves. They scale the majestic peaks of the Appalachian Trail, whispering secrets to the clouds. They even sail down the rivers and kayak along the coast, high-fiving the friendly seals and delighting in the cheers of the playful dolphins. Maine and the Field Trip Troop, with Captain Crabapple leading the way, are a magical combination that sparkles with fun, learning, and countless unforgettable adventures. They prove that every exploration can be a celebration. So, grab your imaginary boots and hats, my young friends, because in the state of ME, every day is a field trip day!

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.
