Camp Superkids is for children with asthma
Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center has announced that Camp Superkids, an annual residential week-long camp for children with asthma, ages 7 to 12, will be held July 15-20 at Summit Grove Camp in New Freedom.
“Camp Superkids provides an opportunity for children with asthma to enjoy a traditional summer camp experience,” says Ceal Curry, camp co-director and child life program coordinator at the medical center. “The children not only enjoy the camp activities and sports, but they also learn how to safely be active and have fun while managing their asthma.”
Highlights are:
– Camp activities such as swimming, arts and crafts, karate, outdoor confidence and teambuilding skills
– Learning how to manage asthma.
– Gaining a strong support system of friends with asthma and positive reinforcement from adults who volunteer their time and services.
– Registered nurses, a physician assistant, respiratory therapists and other non-medical personnel who are on-site the entire week
The cost is $400. Some scholarships are available for those who qualify. At the time of application, a $75 registration fee is due. This registration fee is deducted from the balance of the camp fee.
