Our mission is to provide extraordinary experiences for individuals to recognize and magnify the unique gifts within themselves and others to profoundly impact the world.
Zac’s promise: A Camp That Changes Lives
In 2011, with the belief that his musical talent was given for the purpose of putting more good into the world, GRAMMY award-winning artist Zac Brown purchased 400 acres of farmland in Fayetteville, Georgia and built a world-class facility dedicated to serving youth and veterans. Donate today to help us keep Zac’s vision growing.
Our programs are founded on Zac’s own experiences and beliefs. Growing up as a camper and then counselor, Zac has seen first-hand that summer camp has the power to transform a child’s life. Also a staunch supporter of America’s active-duty and veteran servicemembers, Zac believes it is our obligation to honor and care for the men and women who have protected our freedom and kept this country safe.
LAND OF TRANSFORMATION

Our Commitment
During summer months, we host kids ages 7-17 for week-long, inclusive, residential camps, bringing together typically developing children, children with neurodevelopmental differences, underserved kids, and kids from military families to participate in programs that challenge, educate and inspire.
The rest of the year is dedicated to supporting veterans and military families with three Warrior Programs, all provided at no cost to participants. Warrior Week, Camp Southern Ground’s signature workforce and wellness transition program, helps veterans in the transition to civilian life after military service. Warrior PATHH (Progressive Alternative Training for Helping Heroes) aims to facilitate post-traumatic growth among combat veterans struggling with PTSD and/or combat stress. Our third and newest program, Warrior Family Camp, brings together veteran and military families for a weekend of fun, connection, and community.
Tour Our Campus
Only about 30 miles south of Atlanta, Camp Southern Ground is also available for events. Whether you’re bringing family and friends together or hosting a corporate meeting, our amazing hospitality staff will help you find the unforgettable experience you’re looking for.

Protect Our Future
Love is the Remedy
Camp Southern Ground is an open and affirming community committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of inclusion, promoting equity, and actively fostering diversity within our camp family. We celebrate diversity and welcome people of all ages, abilities, ethnicities, family and marital statuses, gender identities and expressions, languages, national origins, physical and mental abilities, ideologies, races, colors, religions, sexual orientations, socio-economic statuses, and veteran statuses, as well as any other unique characteristics that make each person who comes to camp special. We recognize that we are stronger, not in spite of, but because of our differences. In the words of our founder, Zac Brown, “Love is the Remedy.” These words are foundational to Camp Southern Ground’s organizational and program culture.
