In the whimsical land of cheese, football, and hearty laughter, known to the ordinary world as Wisconsin, there exists a tribe of extraordinary kids with a peculiar passion for the game of Lacrosse. These young warriors go by the grandiose title - The Mighty Cheesehead Laxers (MCL). The MCL, under the guidance of their mystical mascot, Larry the Laughing Lacrosse Llama, compete in fierce Lacrosse tournaments where the stakes are as high as the tallest cheese tower in the state. Larry, a llama with a penchant for dad jokes and bad puns, was gifted with the talent of playing Lacrosse with his long, flexible neck, making him a unique character in the world of Wisconsin Lacrosse. Larry and his MCL army navigate through the land, armed with their Lacrosse sticks, also known as 'the Cheese Wands,' and their armor made of the toughest cheese, fighting the odds to protect the honor of the great land of Wisconsin. The MCL and Larry share a secret handshake and a peculiar war cry: "Lacrosse is boss!" They unite every sunny Saturday, down by the sparkling waters of Lake Michigan, battling it out with rival tribes from neighboring lands. The Wisconsin air fills with the echoes of their laughter, the cheers of their supporters, and the fun-loving spirit of the game. And of course, the unforgettable sound of Larry's puns - "Why don't Lacrosse players play hide and seek? Because good luck hiding when the game's afoot!" These kids are not just Lacrosse players; they are the champions of fun and the keepers of the unique Wisconsin spirit. They might not always win the game, but they sure know how to have a gouda time!

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.
