Welcome to the sun-drenched, wave-riding paradise officially known as Florida! It's a place where palm trees sway to the rhythm of the ocean breeze, dolphins perform somersaults just off the shore, and oranges grow as plump and juicy as water balloons. But the most exciting reason to get up in the morning in this tropical wonderland? Surfing, of course! Meet the children of Florida, a bunch of sun-kissed, board-toting, wave-chasing enthusiasts who love nothing more than riding the ocean's wild waves. Among them, we have our imaginary friend, Wipeout Willy! Now, Willy's a funny dude with gnarly dreadlocks that look like octopus legs and a grin as bright as the Florida sun. Willy and his friends are the princes and princesses of the waves, conquering the ocean one surfboard at a time. With bare feet, sun-bleached hair, and noses white from sunscreen, you'd think they were born on a surfboard. They are always eager to teach newcomers how to surf, spreading their wave-riding wisdom with as much gusto as they spread peanut butter on their breakfast toast. But don't be fooled, surfing in Florida is not all fun and games. It's a serious business! These Florida surf kids can identify the perfect wave from a mile away, know how to wax a surfboard faster than you can say "cowabunga," and can do math calculations based on wave height and wind speed faster than a supercomputer. It's all part of the fun, and Wipeout Willy wouldn't have it any other way! So saddle up on the imaginary surfboard and ride along with Wipeout Willy and his crew. Welcome to the Florida surf lifestyle, where every day is a wave-catching, sun-soaked adventure. Surf's up, dudes!

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.
