About Us

Flying Horse Farms is a camp for children with serious illnesses. We are a provisional member of the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps. We provide magical, transforming and fun camp experiences and serve many disease groups.

In 2007, camp founders Jenni and David Belford, through their own experiences with Adventures for Wish Kids, were moved to build a permanent, year-round camp for children with serious illnesses. After a considerable amount of research to assess the need and other factors, the Belford's made the decision to join the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps. Read the founders' letter.

As the world's largest family of camps for children with serious medical conditions, the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps offers campers the chance to restore hope and recapture their childhood through therapeutic recreation, intentional programming and year-round support to provides encouragement, motivation and confidence.

Paul Newman began the first Hole in the Wall Camp in 1988, in Ashford, Connecticut. Twenty years later, that single camp has grown into a network of camps across the globe. Each camp is a place where children with serious illnesses can "kick back, relax, raise a little hell and just be kids."

Flying Horse Farms will carry on Newman's mission by serving children throughout the Midwest. We are a not-for-profit 501(c3).
