In the sizzling state of Florida, where alligators laze around in the sun and oranges grow as large as a child's head, there is a band of extraordinary kids, known far and wide as the "Clay Crusaders". Though their real names are ordinary – Tim, Sally, Benny, and Mia – the magic they wield with a chunk of clay is anything but. It all happens in the artsy town of St. Augustine, where the sun dances off the cobalt blue ocean and the air smells like a mix of salt, sunshine, and creativity. Under the shade of palm trees, these kids gather at a place known as "Pottery Paradise". It’s not your usual pottery class. Nope. This was a realm where clay could transform into anything their imagination conjured. Now, let’s introduce our cool imaginary character, Sir Clayalot, a friendly dragon who breathes life and colors into their pottery. He's the size of a minivan with soft, marshmallowy scales and a tail that swirls like a whipped cream topping. Sir Clayalot helps the Clay Crusaders create masterpieces out of mucky mud. His fiery breath doesn't burn; instead, it glows with a magical warmth that can bake clay into shiny, sturdy treasures. The kids mold clay into fantastical shapes; moons that glow in the dark, bowls with feet that dance around the table, and vases that sing when they're filled with flowers. And they laugh, goodness, how they laugh! Laughing with their hands squelchy with clay and faces aglow with Florida sunshine, they create magic one pottery piece at a time. The Clay Crusaders and Sir Clayalot, they're the real Florida treasures. Watch out, alligators and giant oranges, you've got some competition!

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.
