A Yearlong Celebration

Paul Newman’s dream was to create a place where children with serious medical conditions could reclaim their childhoods—a place where kids often isolated by their medical challenges could, as he liked to say, “kick back and raise a little hell,” free of charge.

This year, we invite you to join us in celebrating the visionary leadership of our founder, Paul Newman, whose unwavering belief in the power of joy, connection, and possibility created a global movement through SeriousFun Children’s Network that transforms the lives of children with medical conditions and their families through camp.

Join us for the Year of SeriousFun.
