ORGANIZATION: DOWN SYNDROME ALLIANCE OF THE MIDLANDS

image_20250702123809

iCan Bike Camp is a partnership with Autism Society of Nebraska and Pediatric Therapy Center and we are still in urgent need of volunteers!

We are thrilled to be able to offer the iCan Bike Camp to individuals with disabilities during the week of July 7-11 at the College of Saint Mary! But this camp runs on the help of volunteers, so we need you!

The goal of iCan Bike is to teach individuals with disabilities to ride a conventional two-wheel bicycle and become lifelong independent riders. You can be part of something meaningful and help an individual with a developmental disability learn how to ride a bike independently! Anyone 15 or older can help, no experience necessary. Please help spread the word.
