Tell them: If you value your life you need to get comfortable telling people in your life about your medical history. Not every detail, of course, but information that could help them know how to help you if you're in trouble.

Camp should know: You should never attend a camp where the supervising personnel do not know of your asthma. They should have the basic information & clear guidelines of what treatment or treatments you may need during a flare up. If you choose, they can keep your medications with the camp personnel & keep the issue confidential.
