What can 40 people accomplish in 3 minutes?
Put the bug repellent sheets on 20 of the 256 beds at Victory Junction Gang Camp, that's what!
Yep, members of the Offical NASCAR Members Club (ONMC) who arrived at their national convention on Wednesday did just that! Working in teams of 2, the members discovered their own method of accomplishing the task and zipped through the cabins, readying them for the first campers, set to arrive on June 12.
The camp, nestled in the woods of Randleman, NC, hosts about 100 campers each of nine weeks in the summer time, giving them a medically-safe environment to be a kid.
There, campers can not only do arts and crafts, but play in a waterpark, bowl, fly though the air on a zipline, shoot miniature golf, climb and adventure tower, pet and/or feed animals like llamas or ride horses.
They also build self-esteem, gain confidence in their abilities and make friends.
And it doesn't cost them a dime. The approximately $2,500 it takes to have a camper attend a week is footed by sponsors and contributions.
Victory Junction was the dream of Adam Petty, son of Kyle, grandson of Richard and great-grandson of Lee. At 19, an on-track wreck took his life.
But he lives on through the camp and the thousands of young people who have passed through its gates to the adventure of a lifetime.
