In the radiant sun-kissed state of California, amidst the whispering palms and spunky surfers, we find the most daring adventurers, the bold and brave Rope Course Kids. The bearers of the sunshine in their souls and knots in their hearts (quite literally!), these kiddos are no less than superheroes, all set in their vibrant helmets and sunblock smeared cheeks! Let's meet their quirky leader, Captain Knot-A-Lot! With his spaghetti hair that always seems to be in a knot (just like his ropes), and his mismatched socks, he's got the spirit of a cheetah and the humor of a hyena! Captain Knot-A-Lot is an expert in turning frowns upside-down and ropes round-and-round. Every day at the break of dawn, after a hearty breakfast of pancakes and laughter, our fearless Rope Course Kids march towards their favorite playground - the towering Rope Course, shimmering under the Californian sun. They scramble up the ropes, swing on the vines, and zip through the air, whooping with joy, their laughter echoing off the Golden Gate Bridge! Despite the occasional rope burn and scraped knee, the spirit of these brave hearts never wavers. They take each stumble in their stride, each fall with a roll, and each challenge with a toothy grin. The sweat on their brows and the dirt on their hands are badges of their bravery and determination. Ah, the Rope Course Kids of California! They are a wild, funny bunch, living their Californian dream, one rope course at a time. If you listen closely, you might just hear the echo of their laughter in the Pacific breeze, a testament to their tireless spirit and infectious joy!

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.
Camp del Corazon is a beacon of hope for children living with heart disease, providing a medically supervised, residential summer camp experience free of charge for children ages 7-17. Since 1995, we have served approximately 300 children each year, and grown from a volunteer staff of two and a minimal budget to a thriving community of support and growth. Our camp on Catalina Island, 22 miles off the California coast, is dedicated to providing resources and services for these children and their families, who already incur incredible financial burdens from medical bills and often have to seek private or home schooling due to the numerous doctors' appointments and hospital stays. By supporting Camp del Corazon, we give these children the chance to experience the joy of summer camp and connect with other kids who understand what it's like to live with heart disease.
