School Nurses: We Need You in 2024!
Our School-Based Camps are growing in popularity! School-based teams provide the camp program with training and support from our core faculty in nursing, respiratory therapy, pharmacy, social work, and medicine. School-based programs are developed with the school’s need and team members’ involvement. Grant funding provides stipends for team members and materials for campers.
The VYTA&WC helps teens ages 11-15 learn how to better manage their asthma and incorporate healthy habits into their daily lives. Our program makes asthma education fun through the use of games, music from Asthma Blues®, cooking, crafts, technology, and more. Thanks to our generous supporters, campers participate at no cost to their families.
