Explore, Adventure, Discovery
Asthma Camp is a place where kids who have asthma ages 8-14 can find ways to overcome the limitations asthma has placed on their lives. A place of exploration, adventure and discovery, Asthma Camp is the place where kids can fully enjoy summer camp and explore ways to better manage asthma, a disease that may have controlled their lives for far too long.
Asthma Camp provides a safe environment for kids with lung disease. The camp staff is composed of physicians and health professionals, experienced counselors and program leaders. Medical professionals trained in asthma management are available 24 hours a day. The medical support team includes doctors who specialize in treating asthma (pediatricians, pulmonologists, and allergists) plus nurses and respiratory therapists with several years experience.
