At camp the children enjoy a full range of activities while being supported by a medical staff trained to help children manage asthma. The American Lung Association of Connecticut, in cooperation with Camp Hazen YMCA, sponsors Camp Treasure Chest to give children the opportunity to learn about asthma management and have fun while camping with other kids. They not only keep careful record of your child's medication schedule, they also design educational programs that will help your child better manage asthma.
Physician approval is required.
Space is available for 80 campers. Camp Treasure Chest is conducted at Camp Hazen, located in Chester, Connecticut. Over 150 acres of woodlands, lakes, streams and fields. Cedar Lake is central to many of the activities that the campers enjoy. Children sleep in cabins and are supervised by trained counselors at all times.
