Awesome Volunteer Opportunity

I wanted to share with you a great volunteer opportunity for this summer.  The Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio sponsors a week long camp called iCanBike that provides differently abled campers a safe, supportive and fun opportunity to learn to ride a two wheeled bicycle.  The camp will be held at Worthington Kilbourne High School from June 4th through June 8th.  

Volunteers must be at least 15 years old and physically able to walk or run alongside the participant as they master the skill of riding a bike.  Volunteers will be partnered with a single camper and you will work together for the week for 75 minutes each day.  There are sessions spread throughout the day to match everyone's schedule availability.  There will be a mandatory training session on Sunday, June 3rd at 5:00pm.  

Students who have volunteered for this camp in the past have shared how fun and rewarding this experience had been for them as well as for the campers who were learning to ride their bikes.  Anyone interested in learning more or registering to be a volunteer should go to http://dsaco.net/event/icanbike/
