Flying Horse Farms FAQs
What you’ll do from sunup to sundown and other camp queries.
The mission of Flying Horse Farms is to make it possible for children with serious illnesses to heal, grow, and thrive.
Flying Horse Farms is committed to providing a healing experience for the whole family. Any child age 7-15 who has a diagnosis within the areas of cardiology, hematology, oncology, rheumatology, gastrointestinal disorders, pulmonary disorders, rare diseases, and facial anomalies is welcome to join us for a camp session, along with their family members.
Campers should be able to communicate their needs in some way. Campers should be able to participate and function in a group setting, although we can accommodate some limitations.
Our medical policies are designed to support campers so they can participate in camp activities to the maximum extent in order to get the most from their time at camp. At this time, camp assignments are made after careful evaluation by our program, medical, and psychosocial teams.
Applications are reviewed and acceptance is based on space, health care needs, and staffing ratios. While we try our best to accommodate everyone, our first priority is the health and safety of our campers.
If you have a question regarding a family member or diagnosis group, give us a call at 419-751-7077.
