Once upon a time, in the incredibly green and always adventurous state of Oregon, there was a lively band of kids who loved nothing more than shooting arrows straight into the blue sky. These were the Oregon Archery Kids, gallant boys and girls with the hearts of brave knights and the aim of skilled hunters. Tucked between the whispering pine forests, glistening lakes, and soaring mountains, you could always find these kids, bows in their hands, eyes twinkling with undying determination. They weren't just any ordinary kids. Oh, no! They were the future Olympians, comic superheroes, and rebellious Cupids of the world! Among them was their leader, a cheeky, freckle-faced sprite named Robin Goodfellow— or Robin the Good Shot, as everyone called him. Robin had a wild mop of curly hair that danced in the wind, a laugh that echoed through the valleys, and a talent for archery that was almost magical. He could shoot an apple off your head without messing up your hair! Now, Robin was known for his practical jokes. He’d mischievously replace the target bullseye with a picture of a roasted chicken or even a grizzly bear yawning! There was never a dull moment in the OR archery range with Robin around. With every ‘twang’ of the bows and peals of laughter, the Oregon Archery Kids added more fun, more adventure, and more life to the breathtaking landscape of Oregon. Meanwhile, Robin's trick shots and pranks, as wild as Oregon itself, inspired the kids to keep having a blast with their bows.

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.
