Thanks to all of you who attended our summer camp this past weekend.  We had 13 families attend with about 90 people.  It was great to get to know some of our new families.  Thanks to everyone to donated time and/or money to make this camp a success!

We will have Fall Camp again this year the 2nd weekend in October.  Camp will be in the Henderson House across from the pool at Children’s Harbor.  Space is limited so please RSVP as soon as possible.  We can hold 8 families comfortably.  Because space is limited only parents and siblings are eligible to attend this camp.  Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Everyone,

Vent Kids of Alabama has joined forced with Childrens Harbor Family Center to sponsor Vent Kids Support Group Meetings. 

The meetings will be held the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month at 3pm at the Children’s Harbor Family Center.  The Harbor Family Center is located across the crosswalk from the hospital on the 2nd Floor.  Tell the receptionist you are here for the Vent Kids meeting and she will direct you to the correct room.

                     **1st & 3rd TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH AT 3PM**

This is a great time for parents to get together and share ideas, concerns or just hang out.  Our new families who are currently in the hospital will greatly benefit from meeting some “veteran” parents.  Please plan to attend as often as possible. 

If you have any questions you may call Kara Bishop at 205-370-9605 or email karabishop@ventkidsofalabama.com
