Primarily serves campers with: Asthma, Allergic Conditions (EoE, atopic dermatitis, food allergies, etc)
Overview
Camp Not-A-Wheeze is a week-long camp for children ages 7-14 with moderate to severe asthma or allergic conditions (EoE, food allergies, atopic dermatitis, etc), and their non-affected siblings. Campers learn to identify and avoid triggers, recognize warning signs, properly use medications, and exercise control over their disease, while enjoying all the fun of a traditional overnight camp experience.
Camp Not-A-Wheeze shows children that they can lead active lives, while successfully managing their chronic illness. Campers are watched by physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and pharmacists who volunteer their time at Camp so that 24-hour care is available.
