Meet the state of Oregon, fondly known as OR! OR is a bright, cheerful place, wearing a green hat of forests and a blue scarf of rivers. It's full of adventurous landscapes, including high mountains where it plays hide-and-seek with the clouds, and long, sunny beaches where it builds sandcastles with the Pacific Ocean. OR loves to laugh, and its laughter sounds like the chatter of waterfalls and the whisper of wind through tall, ancient trees. Now, let me introduce you to the amazing swimming kids of OR, the "Splashing Beavers!" Named after Oregon's state animal, these kids know how to make a splash. With their super sleek swim gear and goggles that could see underwater secrets, they resemble cool aquatic superheroes. Their secret power? Turning water into a playground! The leader of the pack is Billy "Blue Splash" Beaver. Billy, with his rampant red hair and freckles, could make you giggle just by wiggling his eyebrows. He's got a laugh that's louder than the highest waterfall in OR, and a heart as big as Crater Lake. Then, there's Daisy "Dolphin Dive" Beaver, a girl with a twinkle in her eye and a smile that can outshine the brightest Oregon sunflower. Once she dives into the water, she transforms into a graceful dolphin, her giggles bubbling like a cheerful brook. Together with their team, they swim through the magical blue veins of OR, creating a ruckus of laughs and splashes. Sometimes, you can hear OR chuckling along with them, tickled by their buoyant spirits. Through their adventures, these Splashing Beavers prove that in Oregon, you don't swim in the water, you dance with it!

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.
