About The Company

Flying Horse Farms is a medical specialty camp that makes it possible for kids with serious illnesses and their families - at no cost. 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 internalized mental health conditions. We focus on outcomes that increase a kid's feelings of belonging, reduce stress, strengthen family interactions, and develop an improved sense of self. And whether visiting for a residential session or a weekend to take a trip down the zipline, hit a bullseye, or meet someone with similar health needs for the first time. 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. ThSFCN has evolved from one camp to a global community - providing over 2.1M camp experiences for children and families. Additionally, FHF is an ACA-Accredited Camp with the American Camp Association.
