Flying Horse Farms

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. We guarantee each person who comes to Flying Horse Farms the opportunity for a transformational experience. Flying Horse Farms was the first camp in the Midwest to become a full member of the SeriousFun Children’s Network. 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 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. The children who attend camp have illnesses including cancer, heart conditions, rheumatoid arthritis, blood disorders, asthma, gastrointestinal disorders and facial differences. 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. Flying Horse Farms is an ACA-Accredited Camp with the American Camp Association.
