In the whimsical land of New Jersey, a state known for its vibrant boardwalks, lush greenery, and an inexplicable number of diners, dwells a troop of extraordinary kids engaged in a magical activity known as Theater/Drama. New Jersey, or as it's known in the secret world of drama - "The Stage State," is a hidden treasure trove of talent, where kids get to explore their dramatic genius. Our story revolves around a quirky imaginary character, Sir Thespian Llama, or as his friends call him, "Thespi-Llama." Now Thespi-Llama isn't your ordinary llama. He doesn't graze meadows or climb mountains. He's got a passion for the theater, a snazzy waistcoat, and a habit of reciting Shakespeare at the most unexpected of times. The kids of New Jersey, inspired by their furry, dramatic compatriot, dive headfirst into the world of theater! They're the kind of kids who treat life as their stage, never missing a chance to perform, be it at school, at the dinner table, or even while brushing their teeth! They play everything from rambunctious pirates to wise wizards, from giggling goblins to elegant elves, with a zeal that can outshine Broadway! This bunch of drama enthusiasts, led by our Thespi-Llama, fill every day with their infectious laughter, wild creativity, and a sprinkle of madness. They make their state proud, keeping the drama alive, in more ways than one. So, when you ask someone about New Jersey, they might talk about the beaches, the parks, or the food, but if you ask Thespi-Llama, he'd say it's the kids in theater who make this state truly extraordinary!

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.
Here with us all throughout the year teaching classes, workshops, private coaching, and preparing students for auditions both professional and academic. Between our Brooklyn location and our Westfield location, Acting Out is happy to offer an extensive performing arts curriculum for students kindergarten to college.
