The fall season is a time of learning as we look back in reflection while looking for ways to advance our programs<br />
before our next round of campers arrive. The summer season for our organization, marks twelve summers of continued<br />
life-changing experiences for chronically and seriously ill children. As we look back on these monumental<br />
years, we must not forget the memories made, the empowerment provided, and the<br />
donors who made all of this possible.<br />
Take a minute to think about your first interaction with a camper. How did you feel? What did you say? Who were<br />
you with? These memories are important to remember, as you continue your journey with us. For some of you,<br />
you’ve spent the last 12 summers dedicating yourself to Victory Junction, while others have joined our camp family<br />
for the very first time. It is amazing to watch the moment you “get camp” and become your<br />
CampSelf. It’s moments when you put a child’s fears, worries and/or struggles above your own, acting child-like<br />
on the dance floor, and believing in the magic of camp so much that campers believe.<br />
Looking back, we believe this is one of Victory Junction’s most memorable years. Camp will always continue to be<br />
that same place you came that first week or weekend, however our camp is moving forward with growth and<br />
change. With the direction of the board and year-round staff, the future is bright for the 85 acre camp located on<br />
Fred Lineberry Road. Not only is our staff committed to supporting our campers, we have a passion to mentor,<br />
lead, and support our Summer <strong>Staff</strong> and Volunteers. Your investment is the other part of the formula. Camp needs<br />
committed individuals who are passionate about<br />
working with children, support our vision, and are adaptable to the ever changing culture that must exist in order<br />
to best serve our campers.<br />
With immense opportunities and possibilities ahead, we look forward to working with you as the mission of Victory<br />
Junction continues to impact over 10,000 children.<br />
