Late night phone calls are part of a resident director's job on a college campus. They can be about anything from a bad breakup with a boyfriend to a medical emergency. For Andy Davis, resident director at Taylor University, Ft. Wayne, Ind., asthma attacks have been a recurring theme during this academic year. “I have had five events this year so far, says Davis. “My last call was about 1:30 in the morning in February. I had a female student undergoing a horrible asthma attack. An ambulance was called, which arrived about 2 minutes after I arrived on the scene. The RA [resident assistant] was pretty unnerved by it.” While this episode was brought under control, the student's asthma returned 2 days later, and the student had to go home for a consultation with the family's regular physician.

For parents of children with asthma, the thought of sending a child to camp raises numerous questions and conjures up difficult images. How will my child remember to take his medications during the day? What if my child has an asthma attack? How will my child keep up, since he can't run or swim like other kids can? These real fears and concerns about daily management of asthma prevent many parents from considering summer camp for their children.
