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.
