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 our school we offer two unique options for the academic year: Full-Day and Half-Day programs. The Full-Day program runs from 8:30am to 2:50pm, and the Half-Day program runs from 8:30-12:00. Both programs cover the same curriculum, but the extra time of the Full-Day program allows us to expand the curriculum further and provide our students with Unified Arts daily. We believe that families of students in the Half-Day program should take advantage of this additional time with their child to participate in activities that promote social, physical, and educational growth. Examples of such activities can include trips to the public library, storytime, and arts and craft projects that focus on developing fine motor skills.

Our program fosters an attitude of respect for others. We have standards for self-control and encourage children to express themselves in a healthy way and develop a sense of competence. We believe that self-expression is essential for a child's growth and development. We promote a cooperative spirit, and children learn to work together to solve problems and make decisions. We emphasize positive reinforcement, and strategies for problem solving and conflict resolution. We also encourage children to be creative and explore their own interests. At Happy Hours, children are given the opportunity to develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. We provide a safe and nurturing environment to explore and learn. Through the use of our living and learning spaces, children can work on a variety of tasks and projects. We provide a variety of activities and materials to engage the children in meaningful experiences. Our program is designed to meet the needs of each individual child, while also providing opportunities to learn and grow in a group setting. We strive to create an environment where children can develop into confident, well-adjusted individuals.
