VOLUNTEERS: Many volunteers are needed for this camp. Each bike participant is paired up with at least 2 volunteers. No experience is necessary, just a desire to help. Volunteers play an important role as "spotters" to give riders encouragement to succeed and to give them security and trust that they will not fall as they try to balance. This is a fantastic opportunity for High School Students as well as for college students that may be considering a career in OT, PT or special education.
