A fun, active,
educational 7-day overnight camp in historic Old Forge, New York for boys and girls, 7 to 16 years old with moderate
to severe asthma.
Medically
supervised to assure a safe, happy and healthy camping experience.
Our
Camp SUPERKIDS is located at Adriondack Woodcraft Camps in Old Forge, New York. |
 |
 |
Our SUPERKIDS
are integrated into the regular camp schedule with other campers
to provide each child with a full range of activities. These
activities include swimming, canoeing, arts and crafts, nature
hikes, sailing, mountain biking, rock climbing and much more!
Our SUPERKIDS engage in an interactive asthma education program
designed to empower them to live with and manage their disease.
Children who have participated in similar programs miss less
school, get better grades and build self-esteem. |
