Thank you for contacting the American Lung Association in New Jersey. 
Due to a heavy volume of phone calls and an active schedule of
programs, we have prepared information below to answer the
most frequently asked questions. This information is for
New Jersey residents only.

Camp Superkids
Unfortunately the American Lung Association in New
Jersey will not be offering Camp Superkids in 2009
due to the current economic conditions and their ability
to fund the program this year. They are in the process
of establishing a partnership with Dragonfly Forest to
offer asthma camp for New Jersey children in 2010,
and they can use your help.
