In addition to all the camp activities, an extensive asthma education component is integrated into the program. All educational sessions are conducted by professional asthma educators. The curriculum is age appropriate, experiential and fun in nature. “I can control my asthma better and take responsibility for my medications to prevent flair up.” Camper, age 12 Program Outcomes We believe that our participants will leave our program with: Increased self-confidence and sense of independence Inspiration to live life to the fullest Desire to seek opportunities and to achieve goals Awareness to take responsibility for their own health A better understanding of asthma, triggers, and medications Ability to recognize asthma symptoms and take appropriate action Camp Location Camp Spinnaker is hosted by Camp Merrowvista in Center Tuftonboro, NH Visit http://www.ayf.com for more information about the location. How did we choose the camp name? A spinnaker is a special type of sail that is designed specifically for sailing downwind. When the spinnaker fills with wind (like our lungs fill with air) and balloons out in front of the boat, it is called flying. Our camp aims just to do that…. Be a place that lets kids soar and reach their full potential. Within a fun and engaging environment, the camp is designed to promote self-confidence and help campers learn to manage their own asthma. Cost $425 (Camp Scholarships Available, please call) $50 deposit required to hold your child’s spot Online registration is open.
