In the magnificent state of Washington, where the evergreen trees hug the sky and the mountains play peek-a-boo with the clouds, there's a tribe of fearless kids known as the "Zippy Zephyrs". In this land of rain, apples, and colossal coffee cups, these thrill-seeking kiddos spend their days soaring through the forests on their favorite pastime - zip lining! The Zippy Zephyrs are led by their chief, a super cool, imaginary character named Whisker Windrider. Whisker isn’t your average leader; he's a bushy-tailed squirrel with sunglasses who can talk and zip line like a champ! He's the fastest zipliner in all of Washington, capable of zipping through the forest faster than a fish can swim upstream! Whisker’s favorite hobby, aside from collecting acorns, is showing the Zippy Zephyrs how to glide through the air with the grace of a bald eagle and the speed of a cheetah. From the towering peaks of the Cascade Mountains to the moss-draped trees of the Olympic Peninsula, the Zippy Zephyrs zip, zoom, and zigzag across Washington, their laughter echoing through the valleys. But, it's not all about speed for these daring daredevils. They're also masters of funny faces! As they zip, they twist their faces into hilarious expressions, trying to make each other laugh. The sillier the face, the louder the laughs! Imagine, soaring through the air, looking like a cross-eyed moose, or a grinning baboon! In Washington, the Zippy Zephyrs aren't just thrill-seekers; they're laughter-seekers too, spreading joy throughout the state one zip line at a time! So, if you're ever in Washington, and you hear laughter in the wind, remember, it might just be the Zippy Zephyrs zooming by!

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.

Through CYO's faith-based activities, your children will have the opportunity to have meaningful discussions, activities, and experiences that will help them better understand and live out their faith.
