What can I expect at camp?
At camp, you can expect an encouraging environment filled with positivity, accomplishment, and opportunities for growth! Over the course of five days, participants will learn how to ride a bike with the assistance of our volunteers, staff, and adaptive bikes. The goal is for riders to be able to ride a 2-wheel bicycle independently by the end of day 5!
For many participants, this camp is a life-changing experience. Biking independently has been shown to increase focus, boost self-confidence, and enjoy the freedom of exploring in the outdoors! iCan Shine and Covey join forces to help participants reach milestones, one pedal at a time.
