In the wide world of Wacky Waters, there was a land known as the State of NY, famously known as Nifty Yo-Yo. This was no ordinary place! It was a magical land of towering forests, mighty rivers, and shimmering lakes. It was a place where the trees danced to the tunes of the wind, the birds sang the loveliest songs, and every splash in the water echoed with laughter. In this peculiar land of Nifty Yo-Yo, there lived a tribe of kids known as the "Water Wackos." They were known for their wild and fun water activities. They weren't afraid to dive deep into the Lake of Laughter or paddle hard in the River of Ripples or even slide fast down the biggest water slide in the Wet 'n' Wild Waterpark. Their leader was a hilarious hermit crab named Chuckles, who wore a rainbow-colored shell and a pair of bright yellow boots. Chuckles was quite the joker. He'd often gather the Water Wackos around a giant lily pad and tell them tales that were so funny that the fish would pop out from the water, laughing their fins off. He taught the Water Wackos how to have lots of fun in water, like how to make a splash large enough to create a rainbow or how to surf on the back of a speedy salmon. In the magical land of Nifty Yo-Yo, laughter bubbled up like a natural spring, and giggles floated around like fluffy clouds. The Water Wackos and Chuckles, with their wild water adventures, sprinkled the land with joy and laughter, making Nifty Yo-Yo the happiest, most fun-filled place in all of Wacky Waters.

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 are thrilled to introduce Kara Hallett as the new Camp Director at 4-H Camp Owahta! Hailing from Warren Center, Pennsylvania, Kara fondly remembers the summers she spent attending camps at El Rancho de Paz (now Mapleridge Ranch) and Montrose Bible Conference. One of Kara's favorite memories from camp is playing four square with her two older sisters in the gym. She was so excited for her first year at camp that she even fell asleep on the gym floor! We are confident that Kara will bring her enthusiasm and dedication to 4-H Camp Owahta, and we are excited to have her join the camp's leadership team. We can't wait to see what amazing experiences she will create for the campers this year!
