"The swimming and hanging out with friends and the jamming party and doing all these things in nature,: said Keira Jackson-Anderson, camper. "My triggers are pollen, mold, peanuts."

This camp is no different. It's called Camp Broncho Power and for the last 17 years, it's helped kids with asthma get over their fears and learn to manage their condition.

"Sometimes it's just embarrassing, embarrassing to be allergic to so much, so much, it’s just nuts,” said Rahmel Mcknight, camper. "Stay away from definitely dust mites."

From learning more about what triggers their illness to taking their medications, Doctor Suzanne Mullin says it’s important for kids to fully understand their asthma.

"I think trying to get people to understand their body and when they're going to get themselves in trouble is the biggest thing to learn and here we do challenge them with lots of different things their body isn't used to,” said Dr. Suzanne Mullin, pediatrician.

The kids are closely supervised and camp staff are ready in case of an emergency.

"This place is great for them because they can have the fun of camp while at the same time being safe,” said Mullin.

While knowing what causes an allergic reaction is important, it’s just as important to have a good time.

"I had a big, big, allergic reaction yesterday with the horses. I never knew I was allergic,” said Mcknight. "It’s just a camp to show you how to have fun, education and they show you what to do. They show you how to control your asthma."
