There is something to be said about those friends, but those are not choice words. Camp Longleaf allows campers to enjoy each other’s company and focus on the fun.

Camp Longleaf’s girls-only camp encourages girls to feel comfortable in their surroundings and move beyond any fears or anxieties that might hold them back. Girls will be able to positively influence each other to try programs that they normally wouldn’t participate in. Camp Longleaf offers a camp that girls will be able to develop and mature into confident, assertive, young women and to be the best version of themselves while doing so surrounded by nature.

The father/son retreat encompasses a time for dads and their boys to bond, hike, and experience new adventures together. Time together at Camp Longleaf will bring fathers and sons closer together with stories, memories, and camping fun that can only be had at Camp Longleaf.

The advancement of technology - along with the growth of your kids - is never going to stop, which we know happens way too quickly. Take advantage of an opportunity to show them what you remember about growing up: being outside with friends, exploring nature, and creating memories. Camp Longleaf is here to offer unforgettable visual keepsakes for all, and to see the world through one’s own eyes and not a phone.

Please go to www.camplongleaf-fl.org to learn more about Camp Longleaf.

BREATHING, SLEEPING & THRIVING! continued from page 22

“We can’t stress enough the importance of parents recognizing the symptoms,” says Dr. Mike O’Donnell, founder of the TMJ & Sleep Center, Emerald Coast (EC). “It is critical to get help, especially when children are young and their bodies are able to adjust and mold—particularly in the mouth and bone structure.”

Through the use of proprietary, FDA-cleared and non-invasive systems, TMJ & Sleep Center, EC is able to treat the underlying root cause, which consequently resolves the symptoms related to sleep-disordered breathing. This is a key and unique differentiator. Many patients have chronic health issues that are often seemingly unrelated. However, in most cases, the symptoms are usually linked to the same underlying cause. When patients are symptom-free, it is unlikely they will experience any relapse as long as they follow the prescribed protocol.

46 • Tell them you saw it in ON THE COAST Magazine area. Dr. Chris Farrugia, also with the practice, began treating sleep disorders at his private dental practice in 2013 and has been diagnosing and treating TMD/TMJ for over 25 years. He joined TMJ & Sleep Center, EC upon its founding. With their combined training in advanced dentistry, orthodontics, dental sleep medicine, and TMJ/ TMD, they are ideally suited to diagnose and treat the core cause of sleep breathing disorders.

“At the end the day our mission is to educate parents, and help children breathe properly so they can continue to learn, grow, and blossom. They will also develop a beautiful smile,” says Dr. O’Donnell.

TMJ & Sleep Center, EC also treats adults for obstructive sleep apnea, TMJ/head and facial pain. The medical experts offer treatment options that are non-surgical, noninvasive, and an alternative to standard machines like the CPAP that can improve a patient’s quality of life and health.
