Camp RAD is a one-week summer day camp for children with moderate to severe asthma. It is designed to provide physical and social experiences that are fun while increasing the child's understanding of his/her asthma. The children will be guided to manage their asthma so that they can fully enjoy all camp activities. This experience is designed to give the children a better understanding of asthma that will benefit them even after camp is over. A short telephone interview is conducted by the Director to determine camper eligibility. |
