Project Description:

The iCan Bike camp teaches kids and adults with disabilities how to ride a two wheeled bike. Riders attend one 75-minute session each day for five consecutive days (Monday - Friday) at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. Riders are physically assisted and encouraged by two volunteer spotters and taught by trained professionals. Over the course of camp, an adapted bike is adjusted to gradually introduce more stability and to help challenge the riders at their own pace. This camp is a collaboration with the international non-profit organization, "I Can Shine."
