    Author: Nesvold JH, Fena PG, Herman J, Consortium On Children's Asthma Camps Board Of Directors.
    Journal: J Asthma; 2006 May; 43(4):273-7. PubMed ID: 16809240.
    Abstract:
    The Consortium of Children's Asthma Camps Directors commissioned a study to determine the value of asthma camps. This study aimed to identify the opportunities and the Consortium's role in this future direction. A multi-method, retrospective study was conducted with the following findings: camper demographics; camps provide a unique experience; there is moderate to high level of published evidence regarding children's asthma camps; camps are managed by organizations with extensive experience and by minimal paid staff; and the components of asthma education are fairly consistent across camps, while the duration of education, curricula used, and use of asthma action plans are not.
