Description

2o17 Ride 2 New Heights bike camp July 31st - August 4th will partner with iCan Bike to provide training and equipment that has proven effective in teaching children with special needs to ride bicycles.

As parents, we strive to provide our angels with every opportunity to participate in activities that their peers so readily enjoy. One of the primary missions of Ride 2 New Heights is to provide parents and their children with tools to make that possible. iCan Bike trainers and volunteers will work with each child for 75 minutes a day to develop their riding skills over the course of the 5-day camp. Each child will be paired with two volunteers who will assist them with balance and provide enthusiastic encouragement as they practice. The vast majority of riders who graduate from the camp will ride away on a two-wheel bike, without assistance. They will be able to return to their families and peers with knowledge and skills that will enable them to participate in activities that they have never before enjoyed.

VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS: Must be available to participate all 5 days of camp for a a 75 minute session daily and will be assigned the same rider.  Volunteers must be 16 years or older and able to run with their rider.

**If interested in volunteering Please email charlotte@unitedangels.org
