Recreation for Adolescents & Young Adults
The primary purpose of CFLF is to enable adolescents and young adults with opportunities that are both therapeutic and fun. Issues of infection control have prohibited the operation of CF camps, which at one time were great means of developing social, emotional and physical strengthening for kids with cystic fibrosis - while having FUN! CFLF strives to provide individualized activities facilitated by non-CF mentors in order to address the challenges of infectious control.

Who is eligible?
CFLF will sponsor individuals with CF between the ages of 13 and 24 years old, who are referred by their CF physician. Medical professionals will be counseled carefully in considering physical eligibility, and developing lifestyle goals and objectives for individuals. Individuals or family members may contact CFLF directly for interest in help with activities.

What activities will CFLF sponsor?
Currently there is not a limit on what activites CFLF will or will not sponsor. Activities ranging from team sports to indidual activities, extreme sports, performing and creative arts are all possibilities. Consideration of activities will be pariticpant deriven.
