In the heart-kickin', goal-scorin' state of DC, nestled between the White House and the Lincoln Memorial, a group of kids gather in the wide-open fields to partake in a pastime as American as apple pie - Football. Meet our cool, imaginary friend, Kooky Kickfoot, a jolly, oversized football with a goofy grin on his face. He's as goofy as a hyena on a sugar rush, yet as wise as a wizard with a thousand books. Kooky Kickfoot often watches over these young athletes, who, despite their small sizes, have dreams as big as the Washington Monument. They're not just regular, vanilla football players; they are the daring defenders, the gallant goalkeepers, the ruthless running backs and the super splendid strikers of DC. Their hearts beat to the rhythm of the game, and they play with a fiery passion that could put the summer sun to shame. They chase Kooky Kickfoot across the field, their laughter filling the air like a catchy tune on a summer day. Sweat rolls off their brows as they huff and puff, but they press on with determination in their eyes and grit in their teeth. Sometimes, they stumble and fall, but like little superheroes, they bounce back up, dusting off the grass stains on their knees, their spirits undefeated. Kooky Kickfoot often laughs and says, "They aren't just playing Football. They are painting a masterpiece with their feet!" Each football match in DC is like a living, breathing comic book, filled with marvelous twists, thrilling victories, and lessons of sportsmanship that stick harder than bubblegum on a shoe.

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.
