The LOSE THE TRAINING WHEELS CAMP is an opportunity for participants with disabilities to develop the skills and confidence they need to ride a two-wheel bike for the first time. We use specially adapted bikes which allow participants to progressively build the coordination needed to ride independently. A trained instructor starts the child on a bike with wide rollers to help balancing and as they gain proficiency, they move to more challenging models.
By the end of the week, most bikers are riding a standard bicycle! Volunteers also jog alongside each bicycle, cheering and supporting the rider throughout the week!
Please Note: The Lose the Training Wheels Camp Program will not be offered Summer, 2011.
The Park Authority currently plans to operate the LTTW Camp again Spring Break, 2012.
Arlington County will be hosting the LTTW camp this Summer, August 1st - 5th.
