This camp is offered so that children with moderate to severe asthma can enjoy the unique experience of summer camp, in a safe setting made for fun and learning.

Serene Surroundings

The ACT-Wilf Churchman Camp for kids will be held at Hitchcock's Hideaway, situated along the shores of Lake Diefenbaker. Nestled inside one of Saskatchewan's finest parkland sites, this picturesque meeting place is located 2 hours S.W. of Saskatoon & 2 1/2 hours N.W. of Regina.

Medical Care

"Around the Clock" care is provided by the Discovery Asthma Camp. Registered nurses, physical therapists, a respiratory therapist, a dietitian, a pharmacist, and a physician are present 24 hours a day. Some of these health professionals from the University of Saskatchewan, major hospitals and the health care field have volunteered their time for Camp. Our Camp Medical Advisor, a pediatric specialist in asthma, provides supervision and backup support

The quality of the medical component of the Camp has been recognized by the health care community nationally and internationally. The Camp is an accredited part of the training program for various Health Science departments at the University of Saskatchewan. Parents of previous campers have commended us for the level of care their children have received.
