Welcome to Children's Harbor

Children's Harbor Provides Free Resources to Families Who Have Seriously Ill Children - The Word "Fee" or "Payment" Is Not In Our Vocabulary

Our primary effort is centered around the Children’s Harbor Family Center at Children’s Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. The Family Center is a collaborative effort with Children’s Hospital of Alabama and provides family counseling and support services to children who have long-term serious illnesses as well as to their families. Children’s Harbor also provides camping and adventure services on our Lake Martin campus to these children and their families as well as other children and families with special needs. When not being used by illness groups our Lake Martin facilities can be rented by churches, businesses and individuals. Contributions from individuals, businesses, churches, clubs, foundations and others are used to provide services to the children and their families.

Three Reasons to Give

  • Most families cannot afford to pay for non-medical related services.
  • Most families need an opportunity to mix and network with other families who understand.
  • Children with long-term-stay illnesses and their families need a place to get away and relax.

Q:  What motivated you to give to the Children's Harbor Activities Building campaign?

A.  Seeing the smiles on the children during an illness camp, knowing that families undergoing extreme stress due to a serious illness are able to unwind and enjoy themselves in a beautiful lake setting, and realizing that many of the children would not be able to enjoy a "camp" experience without the Lake Martin facilities. 

Fall Festival Oak Mountain

2011 Fall Festival Oak Mountain


Our Fall Festival is a special event held at Oak Mountain State Park.  The festival is sponsored by Church of the Highlands for families who have children who have been in Children's Hospital, and for some who still have a child in the hospital. 

The families were served Full Moon Barbeque with all kinds of desserts. 

The children participated in many activities such as Cat-in-the-Hat bounce, Game Truck, bowling, horse rides, cake walks, face painting and other fun games.  They also enjoyed visits from Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Big Al and Aubie, and Miss Teen Alabama. 

This was a wonderful time for the families to visit with each other, relax and just have fun.

Thank you Church of the Highlands for a fun day!!
