In the bustling, vibrant, and ever-pulsating state of New York, where skyscrapers playfully tickle the clouds and the Statue of Liberty proudly stands like a guardian of dreams, there's a tribe of kids known as the 'Sail-Whiz-Kids.' Now these 'Sail-Whiz-Kids' are no ordinary kids, oh no! They are the brave commanders of tiny water-treading vessels, sailing on the grand mirror-like lakes of New York. Imagine a band of plucky adventurers, each with their sailor hats cocked just right, their eyes shining brighter than the stars in the Big Apple's night sky. They don't battle dragons or chase for buried treasure, but they sure do tame wild winds and conquer waves with their nimble little sailboats, giggling all the way! The leader of these sail-whiz-kids is a quirky character named 'Captain Jellyfish.' He's a riot, really! The Captain isn’t like any of your typical swashbuckling sailors. He wears polka-dot boots, has a jelly-bean telescope, and a candy-cane for a hook! He's a top-notch navigator and the best sailing buddy you could ask for. 'Captain Jellyfish' guides his brigade with a wisdom beyond his years and a humor that keeps them all laughing even when the waves get wobbly. So, in this corner of New York, sailing isn't just a sport, it's a happy adventure. The echo of their laughter and the splash of their sails is a symphony that plays on the water's surface. These 'Sail-whiz-kids' add a dash of fun, a sprinkle of thrill, and a whirl of laughter to the magic that is New York, making it a place where dreams set sail.

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.

The Scatico experience is so powerful that camper and staff return rates are among the highest in camping. Since 1921, this traditional camping has provided life-enriching experiences to thousands of campers, counselors, and families. With 4 generations of family ownership, Scatico offers the skills, values, friendships, and memories that your children won't soon forget!
