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 2009-2010 school year. The 12th annual camp will be next month, July 12-16, 2010, for grades 1-3, and July 26-30, 2010 for grades 4-6. Camp is from 9am-1pm and is held at Overland Park’s Jewish Community Center. 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.
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!
