WIsconsin's Only Camp for KIDs With ASthma June 22 - June 27, 2008

"I have more confidence, and I meet a lot of new friends…I learn about asthma triggers, belly breathing and how to deal with my asthma." - Lynsey, age 10

Camp WIKIDAS is a weeklong summer camp for children ages 8 through 13 with moderate to severe asthma. Camp takes place at Camp Wawbeek, a 400-acre site one mile northeast of the Wisconsin Dells in Columbia County. Children must be on daily asthma medication to attend.

Boys and girls participate in swimming, rope and rock climbing, canoeing, hiking and other fun and challenging activities. Campers also attend instructional sessions where they learn how to manage their asthma in daily life. They forge relationships with children like themselves, realizing that other kids struggle with asthma too.

Camp WIKIDAS medical staff includes at least two or three physician allergists and numerous registered and practical nurses, respiratory therapists and pharmacists. These dedicated health care professionals supervise the daily administration of medications and provide 24-hour medical care for the campers.

To register your child for Camp WIKIDAS, please download the registration form below. A $100 deposit is required at time of registration, and the $195 balance ($295 total) is due upon your child's arrival at camp. Enrollment is limited to 90 participants.
