ASC Camps
For 12 years, A Soldier’s Child (ASC) Foundation has provided life-changing experiences for our ASC recipient children. ASC has accomplished this by creating a safe place for our kids to be themselves and interact with other children who have endured the loss of a military parent.
ASC strives to instill values like responsibility, integrity, empathy, and leadership to our ASC recipient children who attend our camps from year to year. These ASC camps are a platform for recipient children to build lifelong friendships with other ASC kids. ASC strives to Love the child, Honor their fallen, and give them a Hope to live out a courageous life.
Journey Camp is our week-long flagship camp where ASC children from all over the country attend. Journey Camp is a loving, challenging, safe environment where the kids can be themselves, let down their guard, trust and receive, love, honor and hope. Journey Camp's core values are outdoor adventure, relationship building and healing.

Songwriting Camp is the place for building new friendships with other ASC kids and songwriters they are teamed up with. By the telling of their stories, our kids better understand where they came from in order to move forward on their journey of life.
