General Information

The Swamp is open during the summer for children from 9 years until 18 years of age. Campers must be 9 years old by August 31st.

The camp is located in a rural setting in Penfield, Georgia on 188 acres of wooded land and open fields.



Campers enjoy a variety of activities such as basketball, soccer, Laser Tag, Ultimate Frisbee, swimming, fishing, 300' Slip N Slide, The Zorb, paddle boating, hiking, ping-pong, arts and crafts, and more.

Unforgettable memories are made during cabin challenges, night activities, devotionals and Bible classes.

Over the last 19 years, we have had over 5,400 qualified counselors, kitchen workers, and nurses generously give their time and effort to make camp a success.

Background

"The Swamp" was built by the Atlanta Church of Christ in l998.  Since then over 18,000 people have been able to experience its magic.  It was created to provide a safe place for folks, especially kids, to come and get away from the hectic day-to-day life.  We have had over 30 states and 7 international countries to visit us so far.  Hope you will be next!


Sonny and Carolyn Sessions, pictured above far left with some volunteers, have over 40 years experience as camp and program directors. During the time they have served, they have seen thousands of kids and counselors enjoy the camping experience.


Erwin and Debbie Clark (above with sons Zach and Collin) are the property and kitchen managers. They also book the facilities. They will be glad to book other groups as well. For more information please visit our camp rental website:
