In the wild, wonderful world of Tennessee, a group of adventurous kids embark on an extraordinary journey, riding the water's tumultuous tide in their colorful kayaks. Nestled between the smoky peaks of the Appalachian Mountains and the lush, rolling hills, they brave the ice-cold rivers, brimming with fun, excitement, and a touch of danger. They call themselves the "Kayak Krew," as cool as the morning dew on a lazy summer day. Now, let me introduce you to our hero, Slippy the Salamander. Don't let his slimy, squeezy appearance fool you, for Slippy is a fearless, fun-loving character with a knack for kayaking like no other. His webbed feet come in handy when he's navigating the tricky, turbulent waterways of Tennessee. Together with Slippy and the Kayak Krew, you're in for an adventure that's nothing short of legendary! These aren't your regular kids, oh no! They are the brave, the bold, the downright dirty and daring. When they're not dodging whirlpools or outpacing waterfalls, they're clambering over the craggy mountain trails or slithering through the misty woodland. Each day, they paddle their way through Tennessee's rushing rivers, laughing in the face of danger, their hearts racing like wild horses. But it's not all thrills and spills. Their kayak adventures also bring them face to face with the state’s beautiful natural landscapes, from the dense green forests to the sparkling lakes, where the sun dances on the water's surface like a thousand tiny stars. In the magical world of Tennessee, the Kayak Krew is always up for an adventure. So strap on your helmets, zip up your life jackets, and hop into the kayak. The wild, roaring rivers of Tennessee are waiting for you!

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.
To make sure we provide the best possible experience for our campers, we take extreme care in selecting the right staff. Our team members must undergo a rigorous interview and training process to make sure they have the necessary skills and knowledge to lead our multi-activity areas – from the swimming pools to the climbing tower. Our staff are committed to giving our campers the opportunity to build relationships, collaborate in groups, and challenge themselves in a safe and supportive environment. By doing this, we can ensure that our campers are getting the most out of their time with us and that the skills they learn are ones that will stay with them for life.
