In the geographically delightful state of Wisconsin, also affectionately known as the "Cheese State", resides a unique group of young folks. These are no ordinary kids, my dear reader. They are the sprightly, dungaree-clad, cow-loving, tractor-driving, corn-husking heroes of the heartland. They are the Farm Kids of Wisconsin! Here in Wisconsin, where the cows outnumber the cars (true story), and cheese is considered a vital food group, farming isn't just a chore—it’s an adventure! Imagine waking up with the rooster's crow, herding a bunch of moody cows for milking, and planting corn that will grow taller than a T-Rex. Life sure is different for our Wisconsin Farm Kids. Let's meet Billy Blueberry, our imaginary character who is as real to these kids as the dirt on their boots. Billy is a mischievous, cheese-hat wearing badger. He loves cheddar but detests Swiss cheese (all those holes, you see). He's not just their sidekick, but also their guide, helping them navigate the fun labyrinth of farming. Whether it's a hay bale that's heavier than a sleeping elephant or a tractor that’s more stubborn than a mule, Billy is always there to lend a helping paw. Wisconsin Farm Kids, with Billy by their side, are as tough as the mighty oak trees that dot the landscape and as sharp as the squeaky fresh curds they enjoy. Their cheeks, flushed rosy by the crisp Wisconsin air, are always stretched into smiles, even when they're knee-deep in mud or lost in the middle of a corn maze. Farming isn't just their lifestyle; it's a grand adventure that turns every day into a delightful tale in the heart of America's Dairyland.

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.
At House In The Wood, we believe in the power of nature to help children and young adults grow and develop. We understand that a safe and natural setting can be just as formative as the urban environment. That’s why our program focuses on introducing adult role models who can provide essential guidance and serve as positive examples of responsibility and leadership. We strive to create a positive atmosphere that allows young people from underserved communities to be themselves and thrive. Our Summer Camp, Outdoor Education, and Leader In Training programs are designed to help disrupt generational poverty and foster growth and responsibility in our children and young adults. With the ultimate goal of returning these young people to their communities prepared for leadership roles, House In The Wood has been empowering children and building strong communities since 1910.
