My DES 241 Commercial Design class just finished a 15 week project for the Furniture Library Competition. As part of the projects students had to universally design a two story special needs youth camp in the Poconos. To gather research for the project the students explored Victory Junction Camp just down the road from Asheboro in Randleman. Victory Junction Victory Junction enriches the lives of children with serious illnesses
by providing life-changing camping experiences that are exciting, fun
and empowering, at no cost to children or their families.
Since opening our gates in 2004, our year-round programs not only challenge campers to find resilience by looking beyond their illness, but provide a safe place to try new things under unobtrusive, complete 24-hour medical supervision. The state-of-the-art facilities are intentionally designed to be accessible and inclusive for all campers affected by one of the many diagnoses served at camp.
Victory Junction strives to create a foundation that fosters independence, confidence and continuous growth after camp to better the quality of life for children. We are honored to have provided camp to children from all 50 states, as well as several foreign countries. Victory Junction is a member of Paul Newman’s renowned SeriousFun Children’s Network and is accredited by the rigorous guidelines of the American Camping Association.
