"Welcome to the wild and wonderful state of OR, where the mountains don't just kiss the sky, they high-five it! OR, or as it's better known to many, 'Outdoors R-awesome', is a paradise for those who crave adventure and a pinch of craziness. Now, let's turn our attention to a special group of OR kids who have redefined the meaning of hanging out - the Rock Climbers! These brave and bouncy youngsters, led by their fearless and slightly fuzzy leader, Captain Cliffhanger, know the OR mountains like the back of their calloused hands. Captain Cliffhanger, with his rock-solid six-pack (of juice boxes) and crash helmet adorned with a feather from the legendary 'Ticklish Pterodactyl', is a sight to behold on the crag. The Captain and his energetic troop of 'Crack Climbers' spend their days grappling with gravity, hugging humongous boulders, and finding footholds where even the mountain goats fear to tread. They tell tales of the naughty Noodle-Knees Nymph who tries to make their legs wobble when they're on a tough climb, and the mischievous Pebble Pixies that occasionally hide in their climbing shoes. Such is the life of the OR Rock Climbing kids; an exhilarating dance with nature that makes their hearts thump, their palms sweat, and their faces light up like the OR sunrise. And at the end of the day, these daredevil kids wouldn't trade their chalky hands and the taste of victory at the top of a climb, for all the candy in the world...well, maybe for a giant gummy worm, but only on Tuesdays!"

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.
