This summer, Breathe California will hold its annual "hybrid" (online and in-person) week-long asthma day camp, Camp Superstuff. Virtual sessions with education and fun activities will be supplemented with field trips supported by our trained staff, including one to Raging Waters water park.

Flyers and applications are available in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese on our website. The camp is offered at no cost to Santa Clara Family Health Plan and Valley Health Plan members and scholarships are available for others who apply.

Do you sometimes drive faster than you should? In 2022, 670 people were killed or injured in speeding-related collisions in the City of San Jose alone.
