Victory Junction is incredibly honored to be the recipient of a $250,000 donation left by the late Walker M. "Buddy" Atkinson. Buddy's legacy will fund an unforgettable and life-changing camp experience for 100 kids!

Children shine at Victory Junction. Free from the confines of their disease, illness or disability, they discover that they can be a kid! How does this happen? Victory Junction has created a medically safe, yet exhilarating camp, that challenges children who have a serious medical condition to try things they never imagined possible. As they conquer activities like zip lining and archery, achieve things like riding a horse for the first time or experience bowling, fishing or swimming, children build confidence that will shape how they view the rest of their lives. That’s when they shine!
The magic happens on their lush 84 acres in the rolling hills of Randleman, North Carolina near Greensboro. Once children pass through their gates, the boundaries and limitations they live with on a daily basis disappear and they simply concentrate on having fun!
Victory Junction opened in 2004, to honor Adam Petty’s dream. Though just nineteen at the time of his death during practice crash in his NASCAR race car, Adam was so impressed by a visit to one of Paul Newman's Hole-in-the-Wall Gang camps for kids that he wanted get one going near the Petty family's home.
