So much more than just a week away from home, summer camp can change a child’s life. Grammy Award-winning artist Zac Brown founded Camp Southern Ground with the purpose of getting kids and teens outside in an inclusive, tech-free environment where kindness and community are the foundation of the programming. From day one, campers make connections; harvest and eat food from an on-site organic garden; learn and develop life skills like bike riding, swimming, cooking, archery, and more. This year, teens will enjoy some exciting new programming around skill development and self-discovery. From s’mores around the campfire to art and STEM classes to our amazing 1200-foot zip line and multi-level ropes course, your camper will have the time of their life, build relationships with their peers and counselors, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
