Meet the smallest but the mightiest state in America, Rhode Island! It's like a tiny pocket full of enormous surprises. It may not be as vast as Texas, but it sure is packed with more rocks than you can count! You might even say Rhode Island is America's precious gemstone. And guess what? The gemstone is sparkling with kids who are into one super cool sport - Judo! Now let me introduce you to the coolest, funniest, and the most judo-mad kid - Jellybean Joe! Don't let the name fool you. He is not a regular Joe. He is a judo Joe. He doesn't gobble jellybeans; he gobbles judo moves! Jellybean Joe, with his quirky rainbow-colored judogi (that's what they call a judo suit, you know), is on a mission to make every kid in Rhode Island a judo champ. Every day, you can see Jellybean Joe and his judo gang flipping, grappling, and throwing each other around like pancakes! It's not a brawl, but a weird, wacky, and rather wonderful way of having fun. And the best part is you never hear a single 'ouch' because they tumble and roll like roly-poly toys. Jellybean Joe often says, "A day without judo is like a doughnut without jelly - bland and boring." And so, the kids of Rhode Island are on a thrilling journey, learning judo and having the time of their lives. With every judo move, they're not just growing stronger, but they're also building friendships stronger than Rhode Island's rocks! So next time you think of Rhode Island, remember it's the home of Jellybean Joe and his band of judo-loving kids, flipping and rolling their way into fun and friendship.

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.
