The medical philosophy of the camp is to provide medical coverage to ensure that the child with asthma remains active and healthy and has a normal camp experience. Many volunteer medical staff are needed each year.
Physician staff can include allergists, pulmonologists and pediatricians.
Nurse practitioners, RN's, respiratory therapists and other allied health care providers are also needed. Without this specialized camping experience that is made possible by the generous donation of medical staff time, many of these kids would never enjoy the fun of summer camp. Help make it happen for them and help make a fun and rewarding summer for yourself. Areas of internship include asthma, tobacco, tuberculosis, environmental health, influenza and program evaluation. The mission of the American Lung Association is to prevent lung disease and promote lung health.
