The Autism Society of Ohio

This year, the Autism Society of Northwest Ohio is helping the Lucas

County Board of Developmental Disabilities to once again bring the Lose

the Training Wheels Bike Camp to Northwest Ohio.

The Lose the Training Wheels Bike Camp is a one-week long program that

works with youngsters who experience difficulty in getting past

training wheels and onto a conventional two-wheel bicycle.

The program uses a series of adapted trainer bikes that permit children

to be successful at riding a two-wheeler. Typically, 70% to 90% of the

participants will master riding a two wheeler by the end of this one

week program. The program focuses on working with children 8 years old and older. We

will able to accommodate approximately 20-30 participants during this

one-week program. Dates: Monday-Friday, July 26 - July 30, 2010

Times: Five 75 minute sessions will be available

Cost: $200.00 per person. A $25.00 deposit is required with

registration, it will then be applied to overall registration fee.

Volunteers are also needed to help with the program. We will have five

riding sessions each day, you can volunteer to help for one shift, part

of the day, or all day - whatever works for you. The riders will need

you all five days (Monday-Friday). Volunteers must be at least 16 years

old and physically fit enough to run with a biker.
