New Hampshire, or as our imaginary character, Captain Splashy Beard, likes to call it, "The Secret Sea Kingdom". Captain Splashy Beard, who happens to be a hilarious pirate, is not like any other pirate. He sails not on the salty seas, but on the quiet, sparkling lakes of New Hampshire! Now, you might ask, "A pirate in a land full of mountains and forests?" But don't be fooled, for New Hampshire is not only about its majestic White Mountains or the lush Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee forests. This splendid state is also home to several serene lakes, where you'll often find the adventure-loving kids of New Hampshire eagerly involved in sailing. These kids, under the guidance of the funny Captain Splashy Beard, have mastered the art of setting the sails, catching the wind, and steering their vessels across Lake Winnipesaukee and other beautiful water bodies. Each day, you'll find Captain Splashy Beard, with his rubber duck floaty, and his crew of mini-mariners unleashing their boats onto the glass-like waters. Amid the laughter, splashes, and occasional duck chases, the children learn patience, teamwork, and respect for nature. They are not just kids but courageous sailors embarking on their mini adventures, discovering unseen parts of New Hampshire’s beautiful lakes. And, let's not forget about the infamous "Pirate Joke Hour," where Captain Splashy Beard entertains his crew with his notorious sea jokes. "Why couldn't the pirate play cards?" He'd ask, tugging at his rubbery duck beard, only to burst out laughing, "Because he was sitting on the deck!" Ahoy, the fun and frolic of sailing in New Hampshire with Captain Splashy Beard!

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 Camp Bernadette, Camp Fatima, and Exceptional Citizens Week campers will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities that foster active and creative play. Swimming, hiking, arts and crafts, and team-building activities are just a few of the many activities available. These activities are designed to create a sense of belonging and camaraderie among campers and staff. We believe that the camping experience should be joyful and filled with meaningful memories. We strive to create an environment that promotes respect and acceptance of all individuals. We hope that each camper and staff member will leave with a sense of belonging and an appreciation for the Catholic faith that binds us all together.
