Swamp Corps

A World-Wide Camp Training Organization Existing To...

Establish a Perennial Camp for the Host Community,

Provide Three Years of Training for Staff and Volunteers,

Teach and Instill Biblical Character to Campers,

Extend Service-Learning and Leadership Training to Students.

Swamp Corps is a non-profit organization operating as the generative arm of ACC Recreation Services, Inc., the year-round retreat, conference and overnight camp facility affectionately known as The Swamp. Swamp Corps’ overarching purpose is to replicate The Swamp's culture by planning, organizing, and directing summer camps for 9 to 18-year-old children, wherever we are invited around the world. Our objectives:

To establish a perennial camp endorsed and supported by the host community
To extend service-learning and leadership training opportunities to U.S. students 14 years of age and older
To offer host community participants an overnight camp program designed to teach and instill character and citizenship in a memorable, fun-filled fashion.

Once an invitation is accepted, Swamp Corps will dedicate resources such as training, planning, experienced campers, competent counselors, an established registration process, and seasoned leadership for at least three (3) successive years each with increasing level of ownership by the host community. The ultimate goal is to inculcate the camp culture and to see it sustained on a perennial basis by the host community. We are committed to that end.
