Activities include swimming, horseback riding, canoeing, hiking, arts and crafts, and cookouts. A special health lodge, staffed 24 hours a day by experienced nurses, respiratory therapists and specialist physicians, handles any emergency which may arise. A key component of the camp program is education. Daily sessions with expert presenters, and innovative games teach the children how to stay well, manage their asthma and realize they can lead normal, productive lives. This represents only a portion of the actual expenses the lung association incurs.
Financial assistance is available to families who qualify.
Camp Superkids will be June 17-23 at Camp Kitaki near South Bend, Nebraska.
