In the evergreen state of Washington, fondly called 'WA' by the locals, nestled between majestic mountains and sparkling waters, a group of intrepid young adventurers known as the 'WA Wildlings' embark on thrilling escapades. These pint-sized explorers, armed with their exploratory kits, turn the state's vast outdoors into a veritable playground. Leading the pack is their trusty guide, Bigfoot Benny, a whimsical creature with an uncanny sense of direction and a hilarious flair for storytelling. He's a bit peculiar, with feet the size of canoes and hair fluffier than a Douglas Fir! He can often be found leading the WA Wildlings on a merry chase across the lush evergreen forests, over the scenic mountain trails, and along the vibrant coastline. The kids of WA are a courageous bunch, with a thirst for adventure that can never be quenched. They are just as likely to be found examining a slug in the undergrowth with a magnifying glass as they are scaling the heights of Mt. Rainier. They revel in the constant drizzle, turning it into an opportunity to find the most extravagant rainbows. Under Bigfoot Benny's watchful eye, they learn to respect Mother Nature while exploring her many wonders. Laughter echoes through the trees as they engage in their favorite pastime - trying to outwit Benny in a hide-and-seek game. They joyfully refer it as 'Seek-the-Bigfoot'. And trust me, with feet as big as Benny's, he's not hard to find! Even if Benny always ends up found, the WA Wildlings never tire of their playful antics, exploring the beautiful state of Washington in their own special way.

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.
