Summer Camps for Children with Eczema

Summer Camps for Children with Eczema

We know that sending your child to camp can be stressful, especially if they have a chronic medical condition like eczema. You might be worried about their daily skin routines, triggers at summer camp, and bullying. But… did you know there are specific summer camps in North America for children with skin conditions? These camps can let kids be kids for a week instead of patients (though often are staffed by medical professionals in case of any medical concerns). And great news - most of them are free and even cover airfare to get there!
