New Jersey, or as our cool imaginary character, Jester Jersey, likes to call it, 'Jolly Jamboree Land', is a petite playground packed with pizazz. Nestled between New York and Philadelphia, this state may be small, but it has a personality as big as Jester Jersey's belly laughs. From the brilliant boardwalks of the Jersey Shore to the enchanting echoes of the Pine Barrens, there's an adventure around every corner. And, oh boy, does Jester Jersey love adventures! Now let's talk about the Story Telling kiddos of New Jersey - the 'Jamboree Juicers' as Jester Jersey nicknames them. These kids are as diverse and dynamic as the state they hail from. They come from all corners of the state, from the bustling boroughs to the quiet countryside. They can tell tales that'll make you laugh until you snort, and spin yarns that'll have you at the edge of your seat with wide-eyed wonder. Every week, these spirited children gather round in a circle, eager to share their stories. Jester Jersey, with his jingling cap and twinkling eyes, begins the session by pulling a rabbit out of his hat, or sometimes, a hat out of his rabbit! Then, one by one, the kids start their storytelling, their words painting vivid images, as colorful as a rainbow after a summer rain. Do you remember Pete, the boy who made friends with a cloud? Or Susie, who found a whole universe inside a dewdrop? Well, they're all Jamboree Juicers! In Jolly Jamboree Land, every day is a new story, and every kid is a master storyteller. Laughter, gasps, and round-eyed wonder fill the air as the sun sets on another storytelling session. Jester Jersey grins, and you can too, because the magic of New Jersey stories is just getting started!

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.

We invite you to join us in our mission of love and compassion. Our church is a place where you can find a home, explore your faith, and deepen your relationship with God and your neighbors. We celebrate the diversity of God's people and seek to live out God's call to love, serve, and be an example of grace and justice in our community and the world. We hope you will join us in this mission and become part of our family.
