Victory Junction is a year-round camp dedicated to enriching the lives of children ages 3 to 16 who live with complex medical and physical needs. Through intentional programming and a fully accessible environment, the camp provides life-changing experiences that are exciting, empowering, and fun. 

 

Founded in 2004, Victory Junction was built by the Petty family in honor of Kyle Petty’s late son, Adam, who tragically lost his life in a racing accident in 2000. More than a fourth-generation NASCAR driver, Adam was a dreamer with a deep passion for helping others. 

 

While participating in a charity motorcycle ride, Kyle and Adam visited Camp Boggy Creek, a year-round camp for seriously ill children in Florida. During that visit, Adam envisioned creating a similar camp in North Carolina - a place where children facing medical challenges could experience the joy and freedom of camp. 

 

Today, Adam’s vision lives on. Victory Junction has provided more than 150,000 life-changing experiences to campers and their families through on-site camp programs and its OUTREACH initiatives, which bring Camp programming to hospitals and medical facilities across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. 

 

Many children served by Victory Junction are unable to attend traditional camps due to conditions such as cancer, hemophilia, spina bifida, epilepsy, and other serious diagnoses. Although it costs more than $2,500 to provide one child with a week of Camp, families never pay to attend. Every experience is made possible through the generosity of corporate partners, organizations, and individual donors. 

 

Located in Randleman, North Carolina, Victory Junction offers a medically safe environment where campers are encouraged to discover resilience, confidence, and independence. With 24-hour medical supervision, children can participate in activities such as arts and crafts, archery, swimming, boating, fishing, horseback riding, sports and recreation, music, and theater, all within a unique NASCAR-themed program area. Victory Junction also gives parents and caregivers a chance to recharge, knowing their children are safe and supported in a place where children learn how unstoppable they truly are.  

 

Victory Junction is also the primary beneficiary of the Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America. Since its founding in 1995, the Ride has raised more than $23 million to support Victory Junction and other organizations serving children with serious medical needs.
