Who We Are: Founded in 1958, Recreation Unlimited Farm and Fun (Recreation Unlimited) is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization serving individuals with physical and developmental disabilities and health concerns and supported through the development efforts of the Recreation Unlimited Foundation. The mission of Recreation Unlimited is to provide year-round programs in sports, recreation, and education while building self-confidence, self-esteem and promoting positive human relations, attitudes, and behaviors. The Recreation Unlimited campus is housed on 195-acres, 35 minutes northeast of Columbus. We have worked very hard to make Recreation Unlimited a dream come true for individuals with disabilities and health concerns!

What We Do: 2021 has been a challenging year due to the impact of COVID-19. However, we worked very hard to raise funds through gifts and grants to continue our mission of serving individuals with disabilities and health concerns through Summer Residential Camps, Summer Day Camps and Year-Round Respite Weekend Camps. Recreation Unlimited is one of the largest providers in the state of Ohio serving individuals with disabilities and health concerns in the area of sports, recreation and education. Recreation Unlimited is an ACA (American Camping Association) accredited camp, an Ohio Medicaid waiver provider and licensed through the Delaware County Health Department.

Recreation Unlimited is still one of the largest providers in the state of Ohio serving individuals with disabilities and health concerns through sports, recreation and education with the most comprehensive program offerings. This is fulfilled on a195-acre accessible campus through a safe, fun and challenging manner.
