Deep in the heart of the Lone Star State, Texas, a band of wild and wacky kids proudly bear the title of the Texas Tumbleweed Ninjas. This isn't your typical state, you see. Texas is as grand as a cowboy's dream, stretching wide with vast plains, cacti standing tall like silent sentinels, and gigantic cattle ranches that could make the cows feel like they're living in a bovine metropolis. Our Texas Tumbleweed Ninjas roam these lands, with bandanas as vast as the Texas sky tied around their heads. They are experts at tumbleweed somersaulting, y'all! These pint-sized protegees honed their skills by dodging armadillos, bounding over barbecues, and navigating through the notorious Texas bluebonnet fields without squashing a single flower. There's Billy Bob, the leader, a freckled firecracker who can balance on a longhorn's horn while munching on a chili dog. Don't forget about the petite and speedy Guadalupe, who can run faster than a jackrabbit on a pogo stick. And then there's sly and sneaky Amarillo Andy, who can disappear faster than rainwater in the desert, leaving only a trail of giggles and a whiff of BBQ sauce in the air. Every day, these Texas Tumbleweed Ninjas train under the watchful eye of their sensei, a retired rodeo clown named Chuckles, who has a mysterious past and a belly laugh that can scare off a pack of coyotes. In Texas, these young ninjas have learned that being a ninja is not just about being sneaky and swift. It's about friendship, bravery, and the determination to keep rolling, just like a tumbleweed in a Texas windstorm.

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.
Since 1947, we have been offering a unique residential camping experience for individuals with disabilities. At Camp Summit, we focus on what our campers can do, rather than what they can't. We offer a variety of traditional camp activities, all of which are adapted to each individual's needs and abilities. Our facilities are completely barrier-free, and our staff is not only well-trained, but also deeply caring. Campers are grouped by age, allowing them to build friendships within their peer groups, all while having a great time and embarking on new adventures. Situated on a beautiful 460-acre plot in Paradise, Texas, just north of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Camp Summit is the ideal location for a safe and fun camping experience. We are proud to be accredited by the American Camp Association and licensed as a Youth Camp in the State of Texas. Our campers may have physical challenges, developmental delays, dual-sensory impairments, or multiple disabilities. However, we welcome all campers, regardless of the severity of their disabilities, as long as we can medically meet their needs. We fully understand the concerns you may have about your child's safety and well-being, which is why we have an on-site medical staff and up-to-date nursing facilities. At Camp Summit, your child is in the best of hands. Our priority is not just to provide an enjoyable camping experience, but also to ensure the health and safety of all our campers, irrespective of their medical needs. So, you can relax, knowing your camper will be well taken care of.
