Children with disabilities can gain confidence and independence by learning to ride a bike in just one week!

Easterseals Central Illinois will host iCan Bike Day Camp from July 20 through 24. Riders will attend one 75-minute session each day.

Using adapted bicycles, spotters and an encouraging environment, this program turns “I can’t” into “I can!”

For five consecutive days, children and youth with disabilities ages 8 and older will learn to ride a two-wheel bicycle. Camp staff will adjust the bikes during the week to help riders learn to balance, gain important skills and discover the joy of riding.

Campers must have a disability and be at least 8 years old by the start of camp. Other requirements include:

  • Attending all five days of camp
  • Having a minimum inseam of 20 inches
  • Weighing less than 220 pounds
  • Walking without assistive devices and being able to side-step to both sides
  • Willing to wear a properly fitted helmet

The cost is $100 per camper.
