No child who wishes to attend the Texas Asthma Camp for Kids is ever turned away because of financial reasons. The camp works closely with school nurses and physicians throughout East Texas to identify those children most in need of the social and educational experiences provided at the Texas Asthma Camp for Kids. These children miss the most days of school, they have the most under-treated asthma and they don’t always know how to manage their disease.
Each year, the trustees of the Texas Chest Foundation and friends of the Texas Asthma Camp for Kids underwrite the annual budget of $50,000. Over 80 percent of the children who attend Asthma Camp each year are in need of financial aid.
