Summer camps, sports camps, and residential camps are readily available to children and adolescents across the country. However, children and adolescents with end stage renal disease (ESRD) may not be able to participate in summer camp experiences because of specialized medical needs (e.g., dialysis or immunosuppressive medications) and concerns about abilities to keep up with camp activities. With enhancements in pediatric nephrology care in the past 10 years, patients can be expected to attend school full time and participate in peer activities. In addition, attendance at summer camps becomes a possibility for these children, particularly camps aimed at children with ESRD. Twenty pediatric nephrology centers in North America were surveyed about their participation in summer camp programs. This article reviews these and attempts to elucidate the values of summer camp programs for pediatric ESRD patients.
全国各地的儿童和青少年都很容易参加夏令营、体育营和寄宿营。然而，患有终末期肾病（ESRD）的儿童和青少年可能无法参加夏令营活动，因为他们有特殊的医疗需求（如透析或免疫抑制药物），并且担心自己能否跟上营地活动的节奏。在过去10年里，随着儿科肾脏病护理水平的提高，预计患者能够全日制上学并参加同龄人活动。此外，这些孩子也有可能参加夏令营，特别是针对ESRD儿童的营地。北美20个儿科肾脏病中心接受了关于其参与夏令营项目情况的调查。本文回顾了这些调查，并试图阐明夏令营项目对儿科ESRD患者的价值。
