Genesee County Asthma Network
The Genesee County Asthma Network (GCAN) has a long history of collaboration to help those with asthma in Genesee County.
Currently, the Network focuses on providing a camp for children with asthma Camp Easy Breathers. Camp Easy Breathers offers four adventure-filled days and three nights at Camp Copneconic in Fenton for asthmatics from 8-13 years old each summer. Complete with swimming, canoeing, archery, climbing, hiking, arts and crafts and other fun activities in the great outdoors.
Asthma education is a huge part of our daily routine. The best part about Camp Copneconic is that while enjoying nature, kids also have the benefit of an on-site wellness center equipped with treatment and exam rooms, a pharmacy and other details to ensure quick medical care in the event that their asthma is triggered. The wellness center is staffed by Respiratory Therapists, Nurses and Doctors. If treatment is necessary, their camp adventure can continue safely afterwards.
If you'd like to help support this camp with your time or with a donation, or want more information, please contact GCAN using the info below.
