Deep in the heart of the tiny but mighty state of Rhode Island, there is a bustling group of kids who stir up more than just a clam chowder! Say hello to the Rhode Island Rascals, a group of culinary curious kids who can sauté, simmer and season like they've graduated from the most prestigious chef schools. Rhode Island may be the smallest state in the USA, but it has a big heart, filled with sandy beaches, historic lighthouses, and a love for good food! The Rascals find inspiration in the state's vibrant food culture. They adventure from the bustling city of Providence, known for its gourmet scene, to the quaint coastal towns, famous for their fresh seafood, gathering flavors for their kitchen endeavors. Leading the pack is their fearless leader, Chef Whiskers, a quirky, talking seagull in a chef's hat, who learned his culinary skills from an old sailor. With every flap of his wings, he sprinkles a touch of magic and a lot of laughter into every dish. He guides the Rascals through their culinary journey with a caw and a chuckle, turning kitchens into playgrounds and cooking into a hilarious escapade. Whether they're whipping up a batch of Rhode Island's famous johnnycakes or creating a new recipe with Narragansett Creamery cheese, the Rhode Island Rascals know that the secret ingredient is always a heaping spoonful of fun. So, come join the Rhode Island Rascals and Chef Whiskers as they cook up a storm, and discover that in the tiny state of Rhode Island, the flavors and the laughter are always larger than life!

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.
