Bike-Riding 'Day Camp'

Register by May 5 for June 3-7 "iCan Bike"

Children and adults with disabilities can learn to ride a regular two-wheeled bicycle at Easterseals "iCan Bike" day camp! The 2024 "bike camp" will be June 3-7 at Evansville's National Guard Armory. Registration deadline is May 5 and spots are limited.

Participants must be at least 8 years old and must have some type of disabling condition. "Day campers" will progress through a series of adapted bikes toward their goal of riding a regular two-wheeler with no adaptations by the end of the week.

Cost is $200 per person, and financial assistance is available thanks to generous donors! Registration includes the five-day "bike camp", an "iCan Bike" t-shirt, and bicycle safety helmet. Each participant attends for 75 minutes daily during a specific time frame. (The 75-minute sessions are scheduled in advance and will be held between 8:00am and 12:30pm OR between 1:00pm and 4:30pm.) 

Volunteers are needed to provide individual assistance for participants. Volunteers must be at least 15 years old, have the ability to run beside a child on a bike, and be available each day, June 3-7, during specific session times. This is a great opportunity for service hours for high school and college students!
