Down in the Peach State of Georgia, where the sun always seems to shine, a group of spirited kids gather daily on the tennis courts. These aren't your ordinary everyday kids but the superheroes of the South, smashing tennis balls faster than a speeding bullet. They are known as the "Tennis Titans of Georgia." The leader of the pack is Billy "The Basher" Bob, a boy with a forehand so fierce it could make a grown man cry. He's got a racket as big as his heart and a serve that sparkles like the Atlanta skyline at sunset. Billy's the one who taught every kid in Georgia how to turn their grits into grit, turning their love for tennis into a true Southern tradition. Then there's Susie "The Spinner" Sue, a pint-sized powerhouse who could make a tennis ball spin faster than a twister in Tornado Alley. She's got a twinkle in her eye and a backhand slice that could cut through a ripe Georgia peach. Susie is as sweet as pecan pie, but don't let that fool you; she's got a fiery determination that could match the heat of a Savannah summer. Lastly, we've got Tommy “The Thunder” Tucker, a kid who can summon a roar louder than a Georgia thunderstorm every time he slams his racket on the ball. Tommy's serves are as unpredictable as Georgia's weather, raining down tennis balls at speeds faster than a cheetah. The Tennis Titans of Georgia are a force to be reckoned with. So, if you ever find yourself down in beautiful Georgia, swing by the tennis court and witness the magic of these tennis kids.

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.
