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.

Our Studio blossomed in the Spring of 2014. In a somewhat joking Facebook post, Beckie asked if anyone had interest in investing in a small business. Ryan, replied back that he actually was! Beckie and Ryan were old friends back in High School. Both graduated, moved in different directions and lost touch. In the meanwhile they started families of their own. Discussing the idea seriously led them both to decide it was an amazing opportunity to share their passions for family, Art and Wine! Deciding on a location was easy, picturesque Sussex County, NJ! Hardyston is the perfect area for our studio being situated just off of Route 23. We are easily accessible to many neighboring towns, Spas and Golf resorts found in northwestern New Jersey. Our idea started with just Paint and Sip classes in the evening. We quickly realized with our own children, they could benefit from creative space too. It would be a fantastic idea to feature arts and crafts for kids during the day. We feel the two somewhat very different ideas, complement each other nicely.
