This summer, Breathe California of the Bay Area will hold a “hybrid” annual week-long asthma day camp, Camp Superstuff, online AND in person. Virtual sessions with education and fun activities every day will be supplemented with Meet-Up Field Trips. Camp Superstuff is designed for children 6-12 years of age suffering from asthma. Registration information will be available soon!
What Happens at Camp Superstuff?
When you enroll in Virtual Camp Superstuff, you enroll in a community program that puts your child’s asthma education first. Camp Superstuff is designed for asthmatic children ages 6 to 12 and utilizes trained staff that teaches important techniques on how to manage asthma and allergies, which includes:
- Understanding different aspects of asthma management
- Recognizing asthma/allergy triggers, and warning signs of asthma attacks
- Knowing how/when to take medications
- Learning how to stay active with asthma and allergies
In addition to offering a supportive educational environment, we will also provide children with a variety of activities to take part in virtually (online) like fitness classes (Zumba), arts and crafts, and scavenger hunts. In-person activities will vary but may include meeting and having fun at youth-oriented amusement centers, bowling, ice skating, or miniature golf, and picnics for participants and their families.
Campers must have a medical care provider’s current approval to participate in in-person events.
Note: Offered at no cost to SCFHP and Valley Health Plan Members. Scholarships also available for others who qualify.
