Flying Horse Farms is a camp for children with serious illnesses located on nearly 200 acres of gently rolling hills in Mt. Gilead, Ohio. Summer programs will serve 120 kids per week during week-long sessions. There will also be family camps for 150 children and families per session. Up to 2,500 children and families will be served per year.
There will be no cost for children or their families to attend camp.
Children who attend Flying Horse Farms will experience camp like an ordinary child. For one magical week, they will step outside of their sickness to experience activities such as canoeing, swimming, horseback riding, arts & crafts, and singing songs around a fire.
They will stay in a cabin with other campers and eat their meals in the mess hall. They will stay up late singing songs and whispering secrets. If they need any medical care or treatment, they will be treated by professional medical staff at the on-site health center.
When kids come to Flying Horse Farms, they will not be kids with cancer or other life-threatening diseases. They will not be patients. They will not be different.
They will just be kids.
