In the hearty, maple-syrup-scented land of Vermont, where the mountains appear to wear cozy green quilts in the summer and fluffy white coats in the winter, there’s something unexpected and exhilarating happening. Kids, both little and not-so-little, are lacing up their gloves and dipping their toes into the thrilling world of kickboxing! Imagine a world where mini ninjas with freckles and braces, named Emma and Ethan, learn to roundhouse kick like they're in one of their favorite superhero movies. They might look like average kids who love hiking the Green Mountains, throwing snowballs during the harsh winter, and having Maple Creemees (the local term for soft serve ice cream) on sunny afternoons, but when they step into the kickboxing gym, they transform into fearless warriors! Meet Sir Kicks-A-Lot, an imaginary and hilariously funny moose with a black belt in kickboxing. He's not your average moose, oh no! While others are busy munching leaves in the forest, Sir Kicks-A-Lot is busy teaching Vermont's kids powerful moves like "The Maple Leaf Jab" and the "The Green Mountain Sidekick." He's got big antlers, a bigger heart, and an endless supply of funny moose puns. In the midst of the brilliant fall foliage and pristine ski slopes, Vermont's kickboxing kids are a force to be reckoned with. They're learning resilience, discipline, and how to throw a punch that could even make Sir Kicks-A-Lot wobble. But don't worry, he's always laughing, ready to get back up, and eager to teach them the next cool move. Because in Vermont, even when it's freezing outside, the spirit of kickboxing keeps everyone warm and chuckling.

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.
