In the heartland of the United States, snugly nestled amidst the fields of corn and soybeans, lies the great state of Indiana. Now hold on to your hats kids, because Indiana is not just about farms and basketball hoops, it's a state of high-flying adventure where youngsters morph into high-altitude heroes, soaring through the canopy of Hoosier National Forest. Meet our quirky protagonist, Tommy Tumbleweed, a tenacious ten-year-old with a head full of dreams and a heart full of daring. Tommy wasn't your average Indiana kid, oh no, he was the undisputed champion of one thing - Zip Lining. Yes, you heard right, zip lining! You see, Indiana kids, they don't just climb trees, they fly between them! On weekends, Tommy and his gang of fearless friends would zoom, zoom, zoom across the treetops, shouting, "Yippee-ki-yay!" as the wind whipped their faces. Tommy would often imagine he was a modern-day Tarzan, but instead of vines, he swung on sturdy steel cables. And instead of a loincloth, he wore neon-colored shorts that could blind a raccoon at fifty paces! Imagine the thrill of it, the courage it takes to step off that platform and fly across the sky, just like Superman - if Superman wore a helmet and a safety harness, of course. The way the kids from Indiana see it, why should birds have all the high-flying fun? So, if you're ever in Indiana and you feel the earth rumble under your feet, don't worry. It's probably just Tommy Tumbleweed and his friends, laughing and shouting as they zip through the trees, proving once again that in Indiana, the sky is definitely not the limit!

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.
