Victory Junction accepting camper applications

The Victory Junction Gang Camp has changed the lives of more than 4,500 campers since its opening in 2004 and expects to continue this tradition during the summer of 2007. The camp gives children ages 7-15 with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses a life changing camping experience free of charge. Victory Junction Camp is currently accepting camper applications for Summer Camp 2007.

The camp offers traditional activities, including horseback riding, boating and fishing, arts and crafts as well as those that aren't so traditional such as a water park, theater, bowling alley, miniature golf, as well as NASCAR related program areas.

The mission of the Victory Junction Gang Camp is to enrich the lives of children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses by providing life-changing camping experiences that are exciting, fun, and empowering, in a safe and medically sound environment. Founded by NASCAR driver Kyle Petty and his wife Pattie in honor of their late son Adam, the Victory Junction Gang Camp is a yearround facility serving children, age 7 to 15. Each summer, children suffering from similar medical conditions including heart, lung and kidney disease, spina bifida, HIV, cancer, burn survivors, neurological disorders, and a host of others, gather to kick back, relax and have some fun.

The Victory Junction Gang Camp is a member of the Association of Hole in the Wall Gang Camps and is free to children and their families. The camp operates solely on the generous donations of individuals, corporations and foundation.
