Hello All
My name is Becki Snyder and I am the director of YOUNGLUNG Support Services, INC. We are a non-profit group that provides support services for young people with asthma and other lung diseases. Our major project is Camp Mosquito. It is an adventure based week long camp in the mountains of Tennessee for anyone over 7yo and includes family members if they would like to also attend.
We do all sorts of fun activities, Breathing games,horseback riding, tubing, rafting,canoeing, the climbing wall, zip line, high ropes confidence course, crafts, swimming, hiking, etc. We accept any camper from mild exercise induced asthma to end stage oxygen dependant cystic fibrosis.
Camp will be held June 6-10th, 2005 at Camp Wesley Woods in Walland , TN. Our camp does work with Angel Flight and can provide free airfare to some campers.
The biggest thing camp promotes is a fun, safe time and all of our campers parents have commented on their child's/teens increase in medication compliance.
I myself am 26yo and just had a double lung transplant in September. I am also a nurse.
I can email or mail anyone a brochure. We have our own lodge this year and I know it'll be a blast ! ! !
Please check out the organization's website at :
www.younglung.org
Camp Mosquito can be reached from there ! ! !
Unfortunately those with MRSA/ORSA and Cepacia cannot attend.
