In the mystical land of Michigan, also known as the Great Wolverine State, a curious group of children engage in a magical activity known as Tennis. Now, these aren’t your ordinary everyday kids, oh no! These are the brave knights and princesses of the Rubber Ball Kingdom, swinging their enchanted racquets with might and precision. Let's meet our imaginary friend, Sir Bouncy Bob, the tennis ball. He's a jolly fellow, round, and yellow, with a heart as big as the Great Lakes themselves. He's the star of the game, bouncing from one racquet to another, grinning from seam to seam. His life motto? "Stay in the court and never go out!" The Michigan Minions, as they're affectionately known, train under the watchful eyes of the Old Grand River Wizard, who has a magical power of turning snowflakes into tennis balls. They battle the icy winds from Lake Michigan in the north, the fiery sun from the south, and the pesky squirrels who occasionally run off with Sir Bouncy Bob. Their laughter echoes across the state from Detroit to Grand Rapids, as they chase after Sir Bouncy Bob, making sure he doesn’t bounce off into the enchanted forest, for fear of being captured by the dreaded chipmunk knights. They play in the cherry orchards, along the sandy shores, and in the shadow of the Mackinac Bridge, turning the entire state into their fantastical tennis court. These Michigan Minions, they are a bunch of determined jesters, wizards, knights, and princesses, ready to conquer the world one tennis match at a time. Their camaraderie, bravery, and love for tennis bring a special kind of magic to the Great Wolverine State. And Sir Bouncy Bob, he couldn’t be prouder!

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.
At Black River Farm and Ranch, you will have the best summer camp experience possible! With more than 70 different horses and an hour-and-a-half riding lesson every day, you can enjoy a variety of activities such as trail rides, vaulting, swimming, arts and crafts, boating, archery, and much more. The family-owned and operated camp is located in the thumb area of Michigan, just an hour away from the hustle and bustle of Detroit. Enjoy the peace and tranquility of the countryside while still having a ton of fun with friends and horses!
