In the wild and wondrous woodlands of the Keystone State, also known as Pennsylvania, there exists a peculiar pack of pint-sized players known as the Volleyball Varmints. These kids, ranging from the ages of 8 to 18, are as diverse and delightful as the state itself. From the bustling, big-hearted city of Philadelphia, to the charming chocolate-covered town of Hershey, and the rugged, rolling hills of Pittsburgh, these kids gather to partake in the exhilarating sport of volleyball. Leading this troop of talented tykes, is the state's most revered raccoon, Reggie. With his bushy tail and bandit mask, Reggie is Pennsylvania's unofficial volleyball maestro. Nimbly he scampers around the court, his small paws a blur of motion as he sets and spikes with the precision of a professional player. His laughter echoes across the court, filling the hearts of the kids with joy, making the game more entertaining. These kids, with their boundless energy and competitive spirits, are the heart and soul of the Volleyball Varmints. Their laughter echoes through each gym, their shouts and cheers are as thunderous as a summer storm over Lake Erie. But at the end of each game, win or lose, there’s always high-fives, hearty slaps on the back, and promises of ice cream, making the air swirl with the sweet scent of camaraderie. In the mystical land of Pennsylvania, Volleyball isn’t just a sport, it’s an enchanting journey of friendship, laughter, and life lessons, with the ever-entertaining Reggie the Raccoon leading the charge. So, if you ever find yourself in this part of the world, be sure to cheer for the Volleyball Varmints and join in their heartwarming adventures.

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 “all-inclusive tuition” offers boys and girls aged 4-13 the best possible camp experience. We provide house to house transportation, a daily nutritious lunch and snack, a variety of safe and challenging activities supervised by qualified staff members, and flexible tuition options ranging from 4 to 8 weeks. All of this is provided in our well-maintained and unsurpassed facilities.
