Flying Horse Farms' mission is to make it possible for children with serious illnesses to heal, grow, and thrive.
About us
Flying Horse Farms is a medical specialty camp that makes it possible for children with serious illnesses to heal, grow, and thrive. Leading with an equity-driven program design, we focus on outcomes that increase a child’s feelings of inclusion, reduce stress, strengthen family interactions, and develop an improved sense of self. And whether visiting for a week or a weekend to take a trip down the zipline, hit a bullseye, or meet someone with similar health needs for the first time, every camp experience is provided at no cost for campers and their families. FHF serves kids 7-21 with diagnoses including cancer, heart conditions, rheumatologic diagnoses, blood disorders, lung conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, craniofacial diagnoses, rare diagnoses, spinal cord diagnoses, and mental health conditions. Campers participate in activities like swimming, boating, fishing, archery, high ropes and arts and crafts. Campers receive first-rate care at our on-site health center, staffed 24/7 by medical professionals from children’s hospitals across Ohio and beyond. FHF is part of the SeriousFun Children’s Network, founded by actor, philanthropist and Ohio native Paul Newman, to be a community of independently managed and financed camps and programs creating opportunities for children with serious illnesses and their families. The Network has evolved from one camp to a global community serving more than 1.5 million children and families across five continents. Additionally, FHF is an ACA-Accredited Camp with the American Camp Association.

“If the world were more like camp, every kid would be loved and respected for who they are.” — Cyndi, camper parent. Every gift made to camp means more kids, like Cyndi’s daughter Brie, find joy, connection, and possibility at camp. Behind what we call “camp magic” is the world we’re creating together. One where every kid discovers their own fearlessness and belonging. Give the gift of camp magic: https://lnkd.in/dpe5dYa
