We focus on outcomes that increase a kid's feelings of belonging, reduce stress, strengthen family interactions, and develop an improved sense of self. And whether visiting for a residential session or a weekend to take a trip down the zipline, hit a bullseye, or meet someone with similar health needs for the first time. 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. FHF is part of the SeriousFun Children’s Network, founded by actor, philanthropist and Ohio native Paul Newman, to be a community of independently managed and financed camps and programs creating opportunities for children with serious illnesses and their families.
