Lake Swan Camp with Perry Rollins

In this inspiring episode, Kris and Tara sit down with Perry Rollins, director of Swan Lake Camp in Melrose, Florida, to explore how outdoor education, agriculture, and service come together to transform lives.

Perry shares the rich history of Swan Lake Camp and its mission to get every child outdoors—embracing their motto: “No Child Left Inside.” From hands-on environmental learning to outdoor skills and farm-based education, the camp creates powerful opportunities for students to reconnect with nature and understand the world around them.

The conversation also highlights the camp’s deeply impactful programs serving foster care children and veterans, offering safe spaces for healing, confidence-building, and community.


Throughout the episode, Perry emphasizes why agricultural education matters for everyone—because, as he says, “we all need to eat.” By helping young people and adults connect with where their food comes from, Swan Lake Camp uses agriculture as a vehicle for understanding stewardship, sustainability, and God’s purpose for our lives.


In This Episode:

--The origins and legacy of Swan Lake Camp

--How outdoor education builds resilience, confidence, and curiosity

--Programs that serve foster care youth and support veterans

--Why agricultural literacy is essential for every community

--The spiritual connection between food, creation, and purpose

--How Swan Lake Camp partners with families, schools, and organizations to impact lives


Tune in for an uplifting conversation about the power of the outdoors, the importance of understanding our food systems, and the role agriculture plays in shaping disciplined, purpose-driven youth.
