Flying Horse Farms
Flying Horse Farms serves children, teens, and young adults who live with cancer, facial differences, arthritis, rare diseases, and disorders of the heart, lungs, blood, kidneys, and gastrointestinal system. Many campers face co-occurring post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and other mental health illnesses as a result of their diagnoses. A serious illness impacts an entire family and Flying Horse Farms also serves campers’ siblings, parents, and caregivers.
Flying Horse Farms is the first camp in the Midwest to become a member of SeriousFun Children’s Network. Founded by actor, philanthropist, and Ohio native, Paul Newman, the Network is a community of independently managed and financed camps and programs creating life-changing opportunities for children with serious illnesses and their families.
