The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, Greater Kansas City Chapter (AAFA) is one of our local partner organizations. We are proud of this partnership and wanted to share one of the great things that AAFA is doing for kids with asthma and allergies. AAFA hosts a fun-filled, week-long day camp for kids who have just completed grades 1-6 in the 2010-2011 school year. The 13th annual camp will be next month, July 11-15, 2011, for grades 1-3, and July 25-29, 2011 for grades 4-6. Camp is from 9am-4pm and is held at Overland Park’s Jewish Community Center, 5801 W. 115th St.  Camp costs $30 for the week, and scholarships are available.  Click here for a brochure.

You’ll definitely want to contact AAFA to learn about some of the other great services for your kids and other family members with asthma and allergies! Also, don’t forget to click back to our series on Summer Camps–especially Special Needs Camps.

This year, campers will be participating in exciting activities including games, crafts, swimming, and even a field trip and lunch out one day! Campers will understand that with proper education and asthma management, there’s no reason they should be limited in their summer activities. Superkids Asthma Day Camp ensures a safe, medically supervised environment for kids, and they will leave feeling informed and empowered to manage their asthma. Have a great week, campers!

We are proud of this partnership and wanted to share one of the great things that AAFA is doing for kids and families dealing with asthma and allergies. AAFA hosts an annual, fun-filled Family Asthma and Allergy Education Day; it takes place on Saturday, March 6, 2010 at Shawnee Mission West high school in Shawnee Mission, KS.  It is an interactive opportunity for families and individuals to learn about asthma and how to control it’s affects on their lives. Each adult will choose from a variety of classes to attend. Separate classes will be held for preschool and grades 1-6 which teach children the fundamentals of asthma and allergy treatment, while having fun. All classes are led by area healthcare professionals and physicians.

For additional information on the 15th Annual Family Asthma and Allergy Education Day, or to register, please contact the AAFAKC office.  Space is limited, so don’t delay!  Scholarships are available.

Another fun event highlighted in our Events Calendar is an ongoing stage performance of Peter Pan!  Tickets are still available from the CYT (Christian Youth Theatre) box office. The performances, typically at 2pm and 7pm, are held in Olathe on the Mid-America Nazarene campus at Bell Cultural Events Center.  This looks like a terrific production and features many, many talented youth from the metro!
