ABOUT CAMP MICHI-MAC
AAFA-MI along with the Michigan Allergy and Asthma Society (MAAS) established Camp
Michi-MAC in 1980. At that time, it was only the 4th camp of it's kind in the United States. The
camp was created specifically for children with significant asthma who are on daily medication,
and who might be at risk attending "regular" camp.
Campers can swim boat and ride horses and have a "regular" camp experience because the
medical team, who are on site 24-hours a day, understands asthma and allergies, triggers and
proper treatment. The medical staff includes physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and respiratory
therapists.
Children with significant asthma or allergies entering grades 3-8 can apply for a chance to
attend camp for a one week period. The cost of operating Camp Michi-MAC is defrayed by the
generous support of parents and caregivers, Asthma and Allergy Foundation of
American-Michigan Chapter (AAFA-MI), Michigan Allergy and Asthma Society (MAAS), and
community support.
WHERE IS CAMP MICHI-MAC?
Camp is conducted at the YMCA Storer Camp, located in the Irish Hills, which covers 1200 acres
of rolling meadows and deep woods surrounding spring fed Stony Lake, near Jackson, Michigan.
