Camp Southern Ground

Treehouse Masters Space Crab

The aptly titled Space Crab Treehouse, located just out of sight on Camp Southern Ground, was named for its unique structure and its close resemblance to a horseshoe crab. Designed in part by Zac Brown and Pete Nelson of Animal Planet’s Treehouse Masters, the Space Crab is the perfect getaway for a corporate retreat or high-level think tank session.

To create maximum flexibility within a relatively small space, the handmade Parota wood table from South America designed by ZB Customs to perfectly nestle into the ceiling. It is raised into position with electric lifts creating a transitional space with beanbags providing a more informal, relaxed setting.

The mission of Camp Southern Ground is to provide extraordinary experiences for individuals to recognize and magnify the unique gifts within themselves and others to profoundly impact the world.

Camp Southern Ground stretches across more than 400 acres of land in Fayetteville, Georgia, about 30 miles south of Atlanta. During summer months, Camp Southern Ground host kids ages 7-17 for week-long, inclusive, residential camps, bringing together typically developing children, children with neurodevelopmental differences, underserved kids, and kids from military families.

The rest of the year is dedicated to supporting post-9/11 veterans with two programs. Warrior Week, Camp Southern Ground’s signature workforce and wellness transition program, helps veterans in the transition to civilian life after military service. Warrior PATHH (Progressive Alternative Training for Healing Heroes) aims to facilitate post-traumatic growth among combat veterans struggling with PTSD and/or combat stress. Provided at no cost to veterans, Camp Southern Ground welcomes Warriors from across the country.
