WIsconsin's Only Camp for KIDs With ASthma June 20-25, 2010 Camp WIKIDAS Brochure 2010

"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. Children must be on daily asthma medication to attend. Camp takes place at Camp Wawbeek, a 400-acre site one mile northeast of the Wisconsin Dells in Columbia County.

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.
