iCAN BIKE CAMP
July 8-12, 2019 • Copley High School
WHAT IS iCAN BIKE?
This is a life changing camp that teaches individuals of many different abilities to ride a two-wheel bicycle independently. There are 5 sessions daily with 8 riders attending their same assigned session each day. This achievement helps these special people gain assurance and self-reliance in many other aspects of their lives.
VOLUNTEER DUTIES
80 volunteers are needed to make this camp a success. Volunteers walk/lightly jog beside riders to help teach balance and provide emotional/motivational support. We encourage every volunteer to commit to working the entire week of the camp for the 75-minute session they select. Campers bond with their volunteers and rely on the same person to be there each day to help them learn to ride a bike.
REQUIREMENTS
Must be at least 15 years old, able to walk fast or jog for 75 minutes with short breaks. A five-day commitment for a session time is desired and appreciated, but alternative schedules are considered.
Training provided at the Volunteer Orientation meeting on July 7 at 4 pm at Copley High.
No prior experience with people with disabilities necessary. You get a cool t-shirt too!
