Each year Muscular Dystrophy South Australia (MDSA) holds ‘Camp Capacity’ a 5 day camp for young people with neuromuscular disorders and their siblings aged 5 to 25 years.

Camp Capacity is a fantastic opportunity for campers to have fun, make new friends, experience new things and to have some time away from home. The camp is also a good opportunity for parents and carers to have a break.

Camp Capacity will be held from 10th to 14th January 2011. If you or your child are aged between 5-25 years, have been diagnosed with a neuromuscular disorder and wish to find out more about the camp contact Richelle on 8234 5266 or email rclements@mdasa.org.au.

MDASA will be holding a seminar on Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy. The seminar also involves the state launch of the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Registry so all are encouraged to attend.
