Company

The passion project of multi-platinum, three-time Grammy Award-winning artist Zac Brown, Camp Southern Ground is a unique and inclusive camp located 30 miles south of Atlanta. The camp’s mission is to provide extraordinary experiences for children and veterans to recognize and magnify the unique gifts within themselves and others to profoundly impact the world.

Much more than just a week away from home, summer camp at Camp Southern Ground is a chance for kids to grow and learn. They get to connect with new friends and meet people a little different from themselves, explore in nature and spend time outdoors, while eating delicious and healthy food that keeps their bodies feeling good…all of this geared toward celebrating our differences and putting a little more “good” back into our world.

During summer, Camp Southern Ground offers week-long sleepaway 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 all socio-economic backgrounds and our active duty military kids. For the remaining weeks of the year, camp provides transition support to military or veteran individuals and families, providing a respite environment with programs geared toward transitioning to civilian life, success in reuniting with their family unit and workforce readiness.
