We guarantee each person who comes to Flying Horse Farms the opportunity for a transformational experience.

The Network has evolved from one camp to a global community serving more than 1.5 million children and families across five continents. The children who attend camp have illnesses including cancer, heart conditions, rheumatoid arthritis, blood disorders, asthma, gastrointestinal disorders and facial differences.

ABOUT US OUR MISSION is to empower our community to restore lives impacted by crisis, violence, and tragedy. OUR PURPOSE is to provide 24-hour crisis intervention, advocacy, and education to victims of crime and trauma and the professional community who serves this population. OUR HISTORY In 1972, help was non-existent for crime and trauma victims. In response to their overwhelming needs, Captain John Cunningham, Stella Long, the late Richard Kinsinger, and Robert Denton came together to form Victim Assistance Program. Formalizing services in 1974, under the leadership of Robert Denton, Victim Assistance Program pioneered comprehensive services from the crime scene through the criminal justice system, in a unique collaboration with the police, prosecutors, and the courts. Today, that tradition continues, and our community relationships allow Victim Assistance Program to help thousands of individuals transition from hardship to healing each year.
