best 10 programs in Bloomingdale, MI

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.

We've been a part of the community for over 73 years and have grown from 8 to 150 acres! Our expansion in 1998 allowed us to provide the Southwest Michigan community with a year-round facility that serves families, schools, and businesses. In addition, we've kept nearly a mile of Eagle Lake shoreline undeveloped, creating a safe and natural environment for our guests. We hold over 5,000 guests each year and are licensed by the State of Michigan and accredited by the American Camp Association. Camp Kidwell is the perfect place for your children to learn, grow, and have fun! We offer a wide variety of activities that help foster a sense of community and create lasting memories.
