Asthma Camp
Camp Dates: June 10-15, 2012
Camp Breathe Easy is a seven-day, six-night overnight camp for children ages 7-13 with asthma who need medication and are limited in summer camping opportunities. The children learn asthma self-management techniques and coping strategies to better handle their illness.
Children receive a traditional summer camp experience under the watchful eye of medical professionals who volunteer their time to the program. Campers swim, repel off trees, fish, canoe, play soccer, basketball and miniature golf, and participate in ceramics and arts and crafts.
Camp Breathe Easy is held annually at Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge, Georgia (about an hour east of Atlanta). The camp provides financial support through 'camperships' for those unable to pay.
