Vermont, a magical land affectionately known by its nickname - the Green Mountain State, is a wonderland for those who adore nature's beauty. Imagine it, kids; a place where mountains are taller than beanstalks and maple syrup flows like waterfall. Where fireflies at night are mistaken for stars that fell in love with the earth. Yes, it's that enchanting! And guess who lives here? Our superhero friend, Silly Billy the Squirrel. With fur brighter than a silver spoon and a tail fluffier than cotton candy, he is quite the local celebrity. Silly Billy is famous for his acrobatic skills and jumping from tree to tree, just like kids participating in the Rope Course activity. Ah, the Rope Course! It's not just any activity; it's an expedition of bravery, a test of endurance, and a jolly good fun! Kids, as young as tiny caterpillars and as energetic as buzzing bees, come from all over Vermont to challenge themselves. With hard hats buckled, harness strapped, and hearts pounding like a drum, they would swing, climb, and cross the rope bridges, giggling and shrieking in delight. Silly Billy, the squirrel, is their unofficial cheerleader. He would run along the courses, wagging his fluffy tail, and chattering words of encouragement. Sometimes, he would show off his acrobatics, performing a flip or a spin, leaving the kids bursting with laughter. So, kids, if you ever come to visit Vermont, don't forget to swing by the Rope Course, and say hi to our funny friend, Silly Billy. Just remember, he loves acorns more than he loves applause!

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.
Our campers have the chance to explore the beauty of nature and discover the joy of unstructured play, while also building a connection to the land and developing skills that will last a lifetime. Regardless of the activity, our campers will learn something new and have fun in the process. Campers get to take a break from technology and enjoy the wonders of the natural world. At Killington Ski area/resort in Vermont, the 600-acre wilderness provides a perfect playground for children to explore their wonder and imagination.
