Zac Brown and his father sat down with the Today show’s Willie Geist at Camp Southern Ground for a Father’s Day special.

Zac discusses creating his philanthropic passion project, Camp Southern Ground, after being inspired by his experiences as a camp counselor. The program at the Georgia-based state-of-the-art facility is an inclusive camp that combines children with neuro-developmental disorders with mainstream children.

Willie and Zac also chatted about the inspiration behind Zac’s current single, “My Old Man,” as well as the first restaurant/music venue Zac opened with his dad in 2004.
