Welcome To Children's Harbor

EVERY LITTLE GIRL CAN BE PRINCESS FOR A DAY

“Prince Charming” (Dalton Muse) greets Darby Jones
and escorts her through her
“Princess for a Day” adventure

Every little girl dreams of being a princess. And, it’s amazing how similar such dreams are, no matter who the child is or where she
lives. The princess dream always includes Prince Charming, beautiful fairies, a palace of enchantment, and other worldly magic. However, sadly, little girls who are seriously ill sometimes
lose faith that they will ever be a beautiful princess again. (Complete Story)

Serving Seriously Ill Children and their Families

Ben and Luanne Russell began dreaming of building a place for children and families on Lake Martin in 1987. The dream became a reality in 1990 with the dedication ceremonies of Children's Harbor, a not-for-profit organization. The entire program was officially dedicated to the memory of Ben's mother, Adelia M. Russell.

From the beginning the mission was simple: strengthening children and families

At our Lake Martin campus, we provide camping and adventure services to children with long-term serious illnesses and their families.

At our Family Center in Birmingham, we provide counseling, social work, education, and support services to these children and their families.
