About This Cause
Flying Horse Farms provides magical, transformative camp experiences for children with serious illnesses. Located on 200 acres in Mt. Gilead, Ohio, the camp hosts hundreds of children and families each year—free of charge. The children who attend camp have illnesses including cancer, heart conditions, rheumatoid arthritis, blood disorders, severe asthma, gastrointestinal disorders, kidney conditions and craniofacial anomalies. At Flying Horse Farms, for a weekend or week at a time, being sick takes a backseat to being a kid. And fun is priority number one. 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 the Midwest. Flying Horse Farms, which opened its gates to campers in 2010, is the first camp in the Midwest to become a member of the SeriousFun Children’s Network (SFCN). Founded in 1988 by actor, philanthropist, and Ohio native, Paul Newman, the Network is a community of independently managed and financed camps and programs creating opportunities for children with serious illnesses. The Network has evolved from one camp in Connecticut to a growing global community touching the lives of 600,000 children and families from 50 countries, across five continents. Flying Horse Farms is an ACA-Accredited Camp with the American Camp Association.
