What Different Can Do
Celebrate Different, Support Inclusion
According to the CDC, rates of depression and anxiety among American adolescents rose by over 50% between 2010 and 2019. Contributing factors include excessive screen time, social media, and social rejection or bullying.
What Different Can Do is a campaign designed to counter rising youth anxiety by fostering inclusion, character development, and real-world connection. At Camp Southern Ground, we create a space free from digital distractions—where kids reconnect with nature, community, and themselves.
Though the campaign peaks in April, our mission is year-round: to build resilience, empathy, and leadership in every child. These skills empower them to face life’s challenges with confidence and compassion.
You can help us spread the word. Visit our blog, share our message, and show your support with a donation. Together, let’s continue to celebrate different, support inclusion, and shape a brighter, more compassionate future for our youth. One that changes the world for good.
