Camp Southern Ground
The passion project of multi-platinum, GRAMMY Award-winning artist Zac Brown, Camp Southern Ground’s mission is to provide extraordinary experiences for individuals to recognize and magnify the unique gifts within themselves and others to profoundly impact the world. During the summer months, Camp Southern Ground offers week-long residential camp sessions serving children ages 7 to 17, bringing together mainstream kids and those with learning and neurodevelopmental issues such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), while also including kids from military families. Much more than just a week away from home, summer camp is a chance for kids to grow, learn, and, ultimately, change the world for the better. Campers celebrate individual differences, connect with new friends, explore nature, and eat delicious, healthy food. For the rest of the year, Camp Southern Ground is dedicated to supporting veterans. Warrior Week, their signature workforce and wellness transition program, helps veterans find their new mission in life after military service. Warrior PATHH (Progressive Alternative Training for Healing Heroes), is the nation's first non-clinical program aimed to cultivate and facilitate post traumatic growth among combat veterans struggling with PTSD, depression, anxiety and/or combat stress. Both programs are provided at no cost to veterans. Camp Southern Ground is a 501c3 non-profit organization. - See more at: www.campsouthernground.org
