Roundup River Ranch primarily serves children and families from Colorado and the surrounding Rocky Mountain region. While its physical operations are U.S.-based, it is an integral part of the SeriousFun Children's Network, a global community of 30 camps and programs founded by Paul Newman. This affiliation connects Roundup River Ranch to a worldwide mission, allowing for shared best practices and resources to support children with serious illnesses internationally.
