Asthma Camp

2007 Asthma Camp Volunteer Medical Staff

Each year asthma camp is staffed by a dedicated group of medical volunteers. These volunteers include 2-3 Physicians, 16-18 respiratory therapists, 4-5 nurses, and 1-3 pharmacists, all of whom come to camp with one goal in mind: to help kids and their families with asthma! Many of our staff have been at camp an average of 10 years. They generously give up their own personal time as well as family time to spend a week with our asthmatic children!

One of the biggest goals of asthma camp is educating the children about their lung disease. We do this in an interactive atmosphere. We could build lungs from play-dough, go on a “trigger” scavenger hunt or learn to orienteer through the woods. By the end of camp our goal is to have the children know their medications, understand asthma, do the peak flows correctly and be able to run and play without problems!
