Country star Zac Brown is building a camp for special needs kids on 360 pine-filled acres near his home in Georgia. The camp will be free to attendees, and it is designed to build children’s music and life skills, plus promote health awareness. Brown spent many summers as a camp counselor, so building his own facility is a dream come true for him.

Having four healthy children himself, Brown realizes the blessing in helping kids who are not so fortunate. He says, "To me, there is nothing more worthwhile than helping kids. Camp Southern Ground will work with special needs children while providing them with lodging and facilities to most effectively contribute to their rehabilitation."

Camp Southern Ground will be a state-of-the-art facility that support children that have Tourette's syndrome, dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, Asperger syndrome and autism. Programs will be customized for each camper with games and events to encourage the whole family to laugh and play together.

The group's mission statement reads, “To operate a camp to allow children to overcome academic, social and emotional difficulties so they may reach their full potential by providing them with the opportunity and tools necessary to become prominent leaders in our society and to achieve excellence in all facets of their lives."

Zac Brown Band will also support this new endeavor, and $1 from every ticket sold for their concert dates in 2011 will go to benefit Camp Southern Ground. They are still in the development stage, so if you would like to be a partner or volunteer, please visit their official site.
