After thoughtful deliberation, the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest has made the difficult decision to cancel our remaining Asthma Camp programs for 2009. The determination to cancel camps was made after reports of both confirmed and suspected cases of H1N1 from multiple summer camps around the country. Because of the unique population of our campers and the fact that they already suffer from compromised lung function, we believe this action is in their best interest. The mission of the American Lung Association is to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. Please contact your local lung association with any questions or concerns you may have.

Camp SuperKids takes place on July 12-17, 2009 @ YMCA Camp Ihduhapi in Loretto, MN and is for children with asthma that are between the ages of 8-13.
