Once upon a time, in the heart of the United States, lay the sunny state of Kansas. The rolling wheat fields stretched out as far as the eyes could see, like a golden ocean under the blue summer sky. But don’t be fooled by all the wheat and corn, kiddos! Kansas kids are water babies, just like you and me. Yes, indeed! When the sun is high, they swap their cowboy boots for flippers and take the plunge! Now, let’s introduce you to our hero, Quirky Quill, an otter with a belly full of giggles and a heart full of adventure. He's a water-loving, flipper-flapping creature who is the unofficial mayor of every water park, swimming pool, and even the occasional sprinkler system in Kansas. He loves to slide down water slides, compete in water balloon fights, and even attempts to water ski on the Kansas River sometimes! Kansas kids are as splishy-splashy as Quill. On scorching summer days, you'll find them at the Great Wolf Lodge Water Park, where they zip down waterslides, screeching at the top of their lungs. Or they would be at the Rock River Rapids, racing each other in a wild and wet obstacle course. Some even take their fishing rods to Milford Lake, hoping to catch a big one while Quill splashes around, causing a ruckus. Kansas may not be surrounded by oceans or dotted with beaches, but that doesn't stop the fun-loving Kansas kids and Quirky Quill from creating their own wave of joy. They prove that you don't need an ocean to have a water adventure, just a sense of humor and a great big splash!

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 AGBC, our mission is to provide the ultimate spiritual retreat for campers. We strive to create an environment free of worldly distractions and filled with godly preaching, people, and activities. Each day begins with “God & I Time” to set a spiritual tone for the day, followed by morning sessions, activities, one-on-one camper and counselor time, evening services, and cabin devotions. Not only will campers be challenged spiritually, but they’ll also have a blast with our wide range of activities. We invite your family to join us this summer for a unique and life-changing experience. At AGBC, we recognize the importance of providing a safe and faith-filled atmosphere for campers to grow. We fill each day with spiritual nourishment, including “God & I Time”, morning sessions, activities, one-on-one camper and counselor time, evening services, and cabin devotions.
