How This All Started

The dream to start Swamp Corps Malaysia began with our friends. Our church partners in Cambodia and Taiwan told us about an amazing youth program called Swamp Camp. They said it was a safe place where young people could grow in their faith through fun, adventure, and love. We were so curious that in 2024, we sent four people to see it for themselves—a married couple and two teenage girls from our church. They joined the Swamp Camp in Taiwan and had a life-changing experience. When they came home, they were so excited and inspired. Their stories made us believe that this was something we needed in Malaysia.

So, this past July, we sent a bigger team, including our youth ministers, to the Swamp Camp in Taiwan. We didn't just watch; we joined in. We met the wonderful American volunteers and the camp director, and we shared our big dream with them: to bring Swamp Camp to Malaysia in 2026. They were so supportive and encouraging. Now, the dream is becoming real. We are working hard to launch Swamp Corps Malaysia for our youth. And we invite you to be a part of this from the very beginning. Come help us build something beautiful that will impact young lives for years to come.

Key Information:

Do I need a visa?

To enter Malaysia, most tourists do not need a visa for stays under 90 days but must complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) within three days of arrival. You need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your entry date, a blank passport page, proof of funds, and a return or onward ticket. The specific requirements vary by nationality, so it is essential to check the exact visa rules for your country of origin before traveling.

Are vaccinations needed?

Check the following two sources: Passport Health or CDC Health Information for Travelers to Malaysia.

Find the nearest Travel Clinic to you. They can advise you on the vaccinations needed and the fees associated with each one.

Recommendations and Notes from consultation with UGA Travel Clinic:

Must have MMR: verify up-to-date; can request MMR Titer if not sure.

Highly Recommended Medicines / Vaccinations:
* Malaria: get 23 day prescription of malarone: easier on stomach and less pills to take.
* Typhoid: shot lasts 2 years, pills last 5 years
