Down in the sun-dappled state of Georgia, where peaches grow as big as your head and the sweet tea flows like a river, there's a group of kids who've discovered the secret to flying. Meet the Zip Zap Zipliners, a gang of pint-sized thrill-seekers, who spend their days soaring through the verdant treetops on a zip line, as easy as you'd walk the park. Leading the pack is Levi "Lightning" Lawson, a freckled dynamo with hair to match and a grin that could outshine the Atlanta skyline. His name isn't just for show - when Levi jumps on a zip line, he zips so fast, he leaves a trail of sparks! His friends swear they've seen smoke trailing behind his sneakers. Then there's Elliana "Eagle-eye" Edwards, the girl who can spot a squirrel from a hundred feet up. She's got a heart as big as Stone Mountain and a laugh that echoes through the Georgia pines. When she's not zipping around, she's saving critters in danger or dropping water balloons on unsuspecting park rangers - all in good fun, of course! Georgia may be known for its magnolias and southern charm, but for these kids, it's the ultimate playground. Whether they're racing through Savannah's historic oaks or skimming the surface of Lake Lanier, there's always another adventure on the horizon. So, if you ever find yourself in the Peach State, keep an eye on the treetops. You might just spot a Zip Zap Zipliner zooming by, leaving a trail of laughter in their wake.

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.
At Wilderness Works, we believe that all children deserve the opportunity to be nurtured, experience adventure, and learn important life skills. For over two decades, we have been providing Atlanta’s homeless, at-risk, and vulnerable children with the year-round enrichment, experiential education, and character development they need to succeed. Our graduate programs focus on cognitive, emotional, physical, and social development, allowing children to grow up with us as they age from eight to eighteen. Our five chief programs - Day Camp, City Camp, Summer Camp, Core Camps, and Field Camp - provide a powerful alternative to traditional school learning, especially on weekends, school holidays, and during the summer months. We strive to ensure that all of our kids have the chance to be nurtured, explore adventure, and learn important life skills, helping them to develop a strong sense of self-worth and the confidence they need to achieve success.
