UP to Us Bike Camp

We are gearing up for an amazing iCan Bike Camp this August You can sign up to volunteer at iCan Bike Camp here: https://form.jotform.com/250644820500144

In addition to Camp, we will be hosting a one-day Bike Fit Event for our campers on June 27 and will need at least 30 volunteers throughout the day.

When: June 27, 2025 (Riders will sign up for 20 minute sessions from 10am - 5pm)

Where: Unlimited Possibilities - 1251 E. Dyer Rd, Suite 150, Santa Ana, CA 92705

What: We will be sizing for bikes and helmets for children and young adults with disabilities.

We have partnered with The Bicycle Tree in Santa Ana - an awesome local nonprofit that supports healthy bicycle-friendly communities. Bike Technicians will be at our Bike Fit event to size and recommend bicycles for our campers.

Volunteer Needs

Volunteer shifts: 9am - 1pm or 1pm - 5pm

Responsibilities:

  • 3 volunteers for every Rider at 3-4 Bike Fit stations
  • Check in Rider and family
  • Size for helmet
  • Based on measurements, assist Rider on selected bike size - making sure they can touch the ground and reach the handlebars
  • Document size and recommendations by Bike Technician
  • Motivate the Rider to look forward and sit up straight (caregivers will be present to support)
  • Keep the environment fun and upbeat

Qualifications:

  • Age 15 and up
  • No experience necessary - we will provide training; however, if you are a wiz with the bicycles, please consider a leadership role of Bike Technician to support our Bicycle Tree staff
  • Be patient and kind to all participants
  • Respond well to communication styles - for example, some Riders may not like loud noises or don’t like to be touched. Some are non-verbal and may need prompting. Let them lead
  • Good penmanship (or paired with someone who has legible writing)

We will have water and snacks available. This is an outdoor event - hats, sunscreen, and care will be required.

Again, if you are bicycle-handy, please let me know and I am happy to put you in a leadership role - clipboard and all!
