She has needed her inhaler more than I, but our instructor has always been willing to let us get our inhaler if we needed it. He also insists that we keep it handy (not in the car), so that we miss as little time as possible. In our dojang, the protocol is to face the instructor, request permission, then bow out. Once we return, we bow back in. I try to keep from using the inhaler if at all possible, taking a sip from my water bottle instead, but children don't always understand how to challenge their breathing appropriately. (On the other hand, an instructor should also be aware if the student in taking too many "hits" from the inhaler: this can lead to hypernervous activity in the system, leading to dizziness and a feeling of nausea.) I would not continue training in a dojang where my medical needs are second string to the instructor's goals for the day. My health is too important to me to have someone refuse me access to my medication.

I'd say that summer camps are fairly common in commercial schools, the kids love it. Outdoor, environmental, training is excellent for learning what works and what doesn't when you're out of the bright lights, loose clothing, and good footing of the dojang. It is always interesting to see how your depth perception changes when you're looking into a street light at night. Or see what it is like to try a high kick when the ground is muddy. Fun stuff...
