Welcome to the sizzling, peaches-and-cream state of Georgia, where the sunny skies are as blue as a blueberry muffin, and the grass as green as a Granny Smith apple! A state where the kids have a serious case of baseball fever, and we're not talking about a runny nose and a sore throat. No siree! It’s a strong, incurable love for the glorious game of baseball. Meet our guide, Bases Loaded Bobby, a super cool, baseball-mad, talking squirrel with a delightful southern twang. This nutty character with a big bushy tail, not only swings a mean acorn but is the unofficial mayor of Georgia's sandlots. He spends his days scampering from one baseball diamond to another, cheering on the little sluggers, and munching on buttery popcorn. In Georgia, baseball isn't just a game; it's a way of life. Bobby often says, "These Georgia kids, they're as peppy as a pecan pie and more eager than a fox on a chicken coop!" And boy, is he right! These kids, they wake up at the crack of dawn, run to the field faster than a collard green can say "y’all", just to get that extra hour of practice before school. They swing their bats with the force of a mighty river and sprint between the bases like lightening bugs on a warm summer’s night. Every game is a carnival, filled with laughter, cheers, high fives, and the occasional pie in the face. Yes, you heard it right! Bobby, the mischievous squirrel, loves swooping in and splatting the losing coach with a peach pie. So, bring your glove, your laughter, and a good sense of humor. Welcome to the baseball-loving, peachy-keen state of Georgia!

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.
