Description

Fox Valley Special Recreation Association (FVSRA) is partnering with the iCan Shine organization to remove barriers and training wheels by conducting a full week bicycle camp. This program is designed to assist children with disabilities that have been challenged with learning how to ride a bike, gain confidence and skills to successfully ride a bike on two wheels through participation in an intensive five day camp experience. Volunteers (14 years or older) will assist individuals throughout the camp by ensuring safety, providing a motivating atmosphere and being enthusiastic.

Volunteers need to be able to walk briskly and jog next to your biker. We will have additional volunteers to rotate jogging laps but volunteers should expect to work up a sweat. The program is a one week long camp with up to five sessions. Volunteers are asked to help with one (or more) of the sessions the whole week however we are flexible based on your availability.

If you are able to commit to even just one day we are willing to work with your schedule! An orientation will be provided on Sunday, August 9th from 4:00pm-5:00pm. Important information will be covered at the orientation such as a review of responsibilities and adaptive equipment used. Session Times: 8:30am-9:45 am 10:00am-11:20am 11:40am-12:55pm 2:00pm-3:15pm 3:30pm-4:50pm Volunteers should plan on arriving 30 minutes before their assigned session start time.
