Groton, MA, April 21 – 25, 2025. iCan Shine Bike Camp – Sponsored by Emerson Health in partnership with iCan Shine and Lawrence Academy. The goal of the five-day camp is to teach individuals with special needs to ride a conventional two-wheel bicycle and become lifelong independent riders.
* The camp uses adapted bicycles, a specialized instructional program, and trained staff to enable individuals with disabilities to learn to ride a two-wheel bicycle.
* Riders attend one 75-minute session each day for five consecutive days where they learn to ride while accompanied and encouraged by volunteer “spotters”. Over the course of the week the bikes are adjusted in an effort to challenge a rider’s balance as they gradually discover the skill and joy of riding.
* Riders are children ages eight and up as well as teens and adults who have a diagnosed disability and are able to side-step and walk without assistive devices. Registration Fee: $175
