Down in the sunny, pie-lovin' state of North Carolina, there's a whole gang of adventurous kiddos who've swapped their bicycles for something a bit more...splashy. You see, these kids are absolutely wild about wakeboarding. From the misty smoky mountains to the sandy beaches of the Outer Banks, the waters of NC are always brimming with these buoyant daredevils. Now, our story centers around one cool cat named Wacky Wavy Winston, or just Win for short. Winston, with his neon-green goggles and flashy shark-tooth necklace, is the undeniable king of wakeboarding in these waters. He's got a wild mop of sun-bleached hair that makes him look like a super cool sea-borne scarecrow, and a grin wider than the Catawba River. Winston and his crew of wakeboarding whizzes rule NC's waters with their epic flips, daring jumps, and ridiculous tricks. They zip across the water faster than a roadrunner from a coyote, creating tremendous waves in their wake (hence the name, 'wakeboarding'). But let me tell you, these aren't your average kids. Oh no, they’re kind of like aquatic superheroes! You'd think they had fins instead of feet, the way they glide and flip over the water. And the best part? Their infectious laughter and joy that echo across the water. Because in the end, it's not just about the thrill of wakeboarding, it's about the camaraderie, the shared laughs, and the unforgettable memories created under the warm North Carolina sun. So, strap on a lifejacket, grab a board, and join Winston and his friends for a splashin' good time in the wave-crashing world of wakeboarding!

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.
Camp Willow Run is located on Lake Gaston in northeastern North Carolina, providing a breathtaking backdrop for a unique Christian camp experience. Campers can stay in actual boxcars that have been converted into heated and air-conditioned dormitories, as well as an authentic 1911 steam engine and caboose. The camp's three-fold purpose is to win youth to Christ, help mature those who are already Christians, and demonstrate that you can be a Christian and have fun. From Bible study and devotions to music and personal interaction, Camp Willow Run is the ideal place for kids to learn and grow in their faith in a safe, fun environment.
