Victory Junction Gang Camp is a year-round, racing-themed camp in Randleman, North Carolina, just outside of Greensboro. The camp serves campers ages 7 to 15 who have chronic or life-threatening illnesses that might not otherwise be able to go to summer camp. Each week-long session of 125 campers is organized into disease-specific groups.

The Victory Junction Gang Camp serves kids with hemophilia, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, spina bifida, kidney diseases, asthma, sickle cell disease, burn survivors, skin disease, heart disease, epilepsy, and immune disorders. Children attend the camp free of charge. The camp is entirely funded by contributions.

Victory Junction Gang Camp was launched in 2000 by NASCAR driver Kyle Petty and his wife Pattie in honor of their son Adam Petty who proposed the idea for the camp in 1998. Adam was killed in a racing accident in 2000. The camp is part of the network of Hole-inthe-Wall-Gang camps founded by Paul Newman in 1988.
