In a traditional camp setting asthma and allergy education is integrated with recreational camp activities. This empowers children to understand and avoid their triggers, recognize warning signals of an oncoming episode, properly use their medications, and exercise control over their disease. We serve 7-14 year old children with asthma or allergic conditions, such as EoE, food allergies, atopic dermatitis, etc.

Historically, a majority of these campers would not be accepted into other camps due to the constant monitoring and medication requirements that are typically integral to disease management. Medical volunteers can be found throughout Camp (in cabins with kids, accompanying kids to activities, teaching asthma education, and staffing the infirmary). These volunteers MUST be licensed medical professionals in order to attend. We also utilize students enrolled in medical programs such as respiratory therapy, nursing, pharmacy, paramedic, NP, PA, or med school.

We boast about our skilled medical direction and physician team from the Phoenix Children’s Hospital who serve in the infirmary as the Camp Physicians. The volunteer team assures campers and parents alike that 24 hour care is ready and available to support these children.

2025 Camp Not-A-Wheeze will be open for registration in Aug. 2024.  The one-week, overnight camp will be June 1-7, 2025 in beautiful Heber, AZ, with busing provided from the Mesa/Tempe area for campers.
