“Lose the Training Wheels” camp in Danville is an annual event that helps kids, with or without disabilities, learn how to ride a bike. This year, the camp runs from June 7-11th, and although they have lots of community volunteers, they still need campers!
Believe me, if you have a kid that could benefit from a camp like this, you will NOT regret the drive over to Danville. This camp did wonders for my son’s self-esteem, and you get really attached to all the other campers. I cried through a box of kleenex on the last day when a kid I thought would never ride finally pedaled solo across the arena. And if I was crying in the stands, then think about the tears shed by those two volunteers that ran (and you HAVE to be in shape!!) alongside that kid for five days solid.
I know they have a very flexible scholarship program, for those who might not be sure there is money in the budget this month. Check out more at their website:
