United Hospital Center and the American Lung Association of West Virginia--together with their sponsors and supporters--are proud to announce "Camp Catch Your Breath" for children with asthma. CCYB is week-long, overnight, co-ed summer camp that provides a fun and educational experience for children with asthma - children who might not otherwise get to go to camp. Camp is held at the beautiful and historic Jackson's Mill State 4-H Camp near Weston, WV.
Camp is traditionally held the first week in August and will be July 27th through August 1th for 2008.
During camp, the children will learn by sharing their experiences, make decisions about their conditions and express their feelings about having asthma. In addition to the educational components, children will participate in games, sports, swimming, and crafts.
Campers will be supervised by staff from participating hospitals. A physician will be present at all times and emergency medical support will be readily available. The camp counselors are respiratory specialists. Staff from the Lung Association will be in attendance.
