Lose the Training Wheels
Bicycle Camp For Children with Special Needs
Did you know that only 10% of children with Down syndrome and 20% of those with autism ever learn to ride a bike?
This camp will help teach up to 40 children with special needs how to ride a conventional bike without training wheels. We provide specialized bicycle riding equipment developed by Rainbow Trainers, Inc., as well as a team of experts and volunteers.
Each child will attend one 75 minute session per day for five consecutive days. There will be 1-2 volunteers assisting the trainers with each child.
Our goal is to change the lives of children by teaching them a skill that will build self-confidence, provide inclusion with their peers and open the door to unlimited recreational opportunities. This program has an 85% success rate.
