The Charity

Roundup River Ranch

Our charity of choice, Roundup River Ranch is a medically-supported camp for children with chronic and life-threatening illnesses. At camp, the children can just feel incredible, no matter what illness they’re battling. The focus is on fun, not their conditions. Most importantly, they are given an experience that energizes their spirits, allowing them to simply enjoy the fun, games, and joys of childhood – all free to campers and their families.
Roundup River Ranch is part of the SeriousFun Children’s Network, a global community of medical specialty camps founded by Paul Newman. He believed that kids with serious illnesses needed a place to “kick back and raise a little hell.” And we couldn’t agree more. This community of camps and programs are committed to serving children with serious illnesses and their families. Each is independently financed and governed but all camps share similar philosophies and visions. Roundup River Ranch is located in Gypsum, Colorado, on 125 picturesque acres in the Rocky Mountain wilderness. There, children and families from an 11-state region experience the magic of camp through Summer or Family Programs. At the Ranch, campers build lasting friendships, memories, and skills that provide a new outlook on life.

Remembering Paul Newman 10 Years Later

Roundup River Ranch began with a dream to carry out the vision of actor Paul Newman and bring a Hole in the Wall Camp (now SeriousFun Children's Network) to Colorado.
