The Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America, California Chapter, is collaborating with The Painted Turtle to offer an opportunity to share good times, peer support and education with other families affected by childhood asthma, October 12-14 2012.

Families will enjoy boating and fishing, arts and crafts, woodshop, music, and much more! And doctors and nurses are available at The Painted Turtle all weekend to take care of any medical needs families might have while at camp. It’s a beautiful facility with a fully equipped medical center and temperature-controlled cabins. Families have their own rooms with private baths. All meals are provided and served in the dining hall overlooking the lake. The weekend fun begins at 5:00 p.m. on Friday and ends at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday. There is no cost for families to attend this retreat!

Family Camp is for children with asthma, ages 6-17, and their immediate family members. You must be able to provide your own transportation to and from The Painted Turtle.

We invite you to join us at The Painted Turtle, located in Lake Hughes in the Antelope Valley, 40 miles north of Los Angeles. For more information, contact AAFA  at (323) 937-7859 or admin@aafacal.org.
