A global Christian legacy organization equipping the next generation through sustainable camp culture, value-based leadership, and inter-generational partnership.
Historically, a chasm has formed between the older generation and the next. Swamp Camp Mission Alliance exists as a structural bridge — connecting generations, resources, leadership pipelines, and governance so that faith and servant-leadership carry forward.
Partnering with God to bridge the generations and fulfill Psalm 72:5.
A group of experienced campers and counselors who spend three years establishing a Swamp Camp: a safe, spiritual, and relational summer camp designed for 9–18 year olds. Just as the older generation plants churches, the next generation plants camps.
Experienced Swamp Corps teams arrive, lead the camp, and establish the culture, rhythms, and safe spiritual space from day one.
Local leaders step up alongside Swamp Corps. Training deepens, ownership begins, and the culture takes root in local hands.
Local leaders fully run the camp, while Swamp Corps is there for gap assessment, added support, and to strengthen sustainability.
Since 2010, Swamp Camps have spread across the globe — and the next generation has been investing, serving, and leading the charge.
Continuous global activity since the first Swamp Camp launched in 2010.
Spanning 4 continents and 23 countries — from Jamaica to Nepal to Mozambique.
Young hearts reached with belonging, spiritual formation, and joy.
Next-gen volunteers who've traveled to train peers and serve those younger.
Dollars personally paid by young leaders to start Swamp Camps themselves.
Volunteer counselors who've applied to serve and be trained in-country.
Built on scripture, shaped by partnership, and carried out by hearts chasing Jesus' organic movement.
Balancing times to wait with willingness to act, keeping in step with the Spirit's direction.
Relying on internal and external partnerships — the strengths of the many versus the few.
Short- and long-term benefits act as a compass orienting us to Jesus' mission.
We're happiest when we see open arms, space for new ideas, and resources flowing between generations.
A single Swamp Camp became twenty-five, spanning four continents and twenty-three countries.
Most partners begin with one step and grow from there — prayer, wisdom, investment, or simply believing the next generation is ready.
