A chance for families to meet, connect, learn and socialise.
Children’s Camp is a chance for families to meet, connect, learn and socialise.
Children's Camp
Families often find camp a considerable boost as they discover they’re not the only ones living with these conditions. It’s a chance to make friends with others who understand what they’re going through. “I’m not alone anymore,” is a common response.
Understand JIA
JIA is an autoimmune condition and the symptoms vary from person to person and can come and go from day to day and week to week. Symptoms will be worse during occasional flares; at other times the condition seems to disappear.
Get Support from Susan
Susan can provide updates on information about managing arthritis in children, peer support for families who have had a child recently diagnosed, advocacy support for families and organising online parent support groups and education sessions.
Talking to Teachers
You can help make sure school is a positive experience by educating your child’s teachers about JIA and the possible effects it will have on your child in the school environment. As their parent or caregiver, you are your child’s best advocate.
Talking to Doctors
If you have concerns about anything to do with your child’s treatment, don’t be afraid to discuss them with their doctor. You are a vital member of your child’s healthcare team – you know your child and may notice things missed by medical professionals.

DO YOU HAVE A WILL?
Leaving a gift in your Will is a wonderful way to ensure the cause you support can continue to improve the life of every person affected by arthritis. Think of it as leaving a legacy that will make a difference to generations of New Zealanders beyond your lifetime.

‘Being creative distracts me from the pain’
“I am determined not to let this condition rule my life. I see it as an inconvenience rather than let it define me.”
