In the sprawling state of Washington, amid the towering evergreens and majestic Mt. Rainier, there's a group of kids who are as vibrant and diverse as the landscape itself. They gather regularly, not for a soccer match or a video game marathon, but for a unique adventure - religious service activities. Meet these kids, inspired by the lovable and quirky mascot, Whiskers the Wonder Wombat. Whiskers, a whimsical, eyeglasses-wearing wombat, hails from the land Down Under, but he's made Washington his home. With his oversized pockets brimming with maps, snacks, and a few magic tricks, he guides these kids on a journey of faith and fun. He has a habit of getting lost, but that's part of what makes him endearing. He always says, "Sometimes getting lost helps you discover new paths." When it's time for a religious service activity, you'll find these kids, led by Whiskers, bustling around local soup kitchens, planting trees in community parks, or organizing book drives. Whether it's sunny or drizzling, Whiskers and his team are always on the move, turning every task into a rollicking adventure. Oh, and did I mention Whiskers' legendary clumsiness? His well-intentioned blunders are a source of endless giggles, but they always lead to heartwarming lessons about persistence and grace. Like the time Whiskers knocked over a paint can during a mural painting. Instead of a disaster, our quick-thinking kids transformed the spill into a beautiful rainbow. Through laughter, service, and Whiskers' delightful mishaps, these Washington kids are learning about their faith in the most enjoyable way possible. They're discovering that serving others isn't a chore, but a joy-filled adventure with Whiskers the Wonder Wombat.

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.
