Asher White and His Family Find Belonging at Camp

For Asher White’s family, finding a place where he feels included has always been a priority. From their first family weekend to Asher’s transformative summer camp experience, the impact of Victory Junction was a game changer. For them, Victory Junction isn’t just a camp – it’s a place where they have discovered belonging.

“There are not many places in the world that are made for people with disabilities,” Zach shared. “This place is perfect. The thoughtfulness and detail that go into programming… it really blew us away.”

From the beginning, Victory Junction, was created to offer campers and families a welcoming environment where accessibility is a priority. In addition, enthusiastic staff work hard to create an inclusive atmosphere where families feel at home.

“The eagerness of the staff makes everybody feel so welcome and wanted,” Marissa said. “It’s amazing for our kids to be around different abilities, where it’s just accepted and normal.”

For Asher, camp has been fun and transformational. He attended summer camp for the first time last year, and his parents saw an immediate impact.

For families considering Victory Junction, the White family has one piece of advice: give it a try.

“If you’re unsure, start with a family weekend,” Marissa suggested. “Whatever you’re worried about has probably already been considered. Camp here isn’t roughing it… it’s pretty swanky!”
