Victory Lane Camp is S’MORE than a camp. It’s a community made up of people from all types of backgrounds and abilities who care and connect with one another. Centered around families who have children with disabilities, the reach of Victory Lane goes beyond therapy and services. Connections made between families through Victory Lane lead to lasting friendships where families support one another through the stresses and joys of life all year long.
Since 2013, Victory Lane has served indiana families from Henry, Wayne, Delaware, Marion, Rush, Hancock, Monroe, Allen and Howard Counties. We’ve also served families from Ohio, Tennessee, New Jersey and Wisconsin. Our current target areas for future growth include Marion, Hamilton, Hancock, Monroe and Delaware Counties. The need for deeper community around families raising kids with disabilities impacts everyone. Thank you for being a part of the community solution.
Meet Your Team
Brett Fischer
MPT, CEO
Brett Fischer, a pediatric physical therapist since 1997, is owner of 321go Kids, an east central Indiana pediatric outpatient clinic dedicated to family centered episodic therapy for children, where every child is seen 2-3x/week for a package of therapy and then takes a family phase break to foster healthy family dynamics. Through this innovative model, 321go Kids helps parents build confidence to help their children develop new skills and better outcomes in a family friendly environment.
Beyond 321go Kids, Brett is a co-founder of Voice for Indiana Kids, a coalition of private pediatric clinic leaders working collaboratively— and independently—from national organizations such as APTA, ASHA, and AOTA. This initiative advocates for high-quality pediatric care while addressing systemic barriers impacting therapy services.
Brett is also the Founder and CEO of Victory Lane Camp (VLC) and has dedicated his career to supporting families raising children with disabilities. Brett recognized that families needed more than therapy; they needed community, support, and hope. This led him to create VLC in 2013, a transformative program that fosters connection, resilience, and joy through camps, year-round programs, and community engagement. Under his leadership, VLC has helped families strengthen relationships, navigate challenges, and build lifelong support networks.
Through his leadership, advocacy, and commitment, Brett continues to create stronger communities where children and families thrive.
