iCan Shine Bike Camp

Variety’s iCan Shine Bike Camp !

Variety’s iCan Shine Bike Camp 2024 was a success as over 20 individuals with special needs learned to ride a bike independently or made vast improvements to the skill. Variety of Texas is so appreciative of the riders, families, volunteers, sponsors, and partners who came together to make our summer session happen!

This program is heavily supported by volunteers! Sign up opportunities coming soon.

Be a “spotter” for a rider each of the 5 days of camp and experience the thrill of giving the gift of riding a bike! Just 90 invigorating minutes per day may be the most rewarding exercise and emotional experience you've ever had!

We kindly ask you to sign up for the same time slot each day. If that’s not possible, we understand! Please sign up to volunteer anyway!

**5 time slots available between 8:30am-3:15pm**

Please reach out to bikecamp@varietytexas.org if you have any questions.

From iCan Shine’s website:

“Our organization began in 2007. Since then, we have successfully taught approximately 20,000 people with disabilities to ride a conventional two-wheel bicycle. The impact of learning to ride a bicycle independently, and our high level of success in helping people with disabilities accomplish this feat, continues to drive demand for our iCan Bike program.”

Approximately 80% of the people who participate in our iCan Bike program learn to ride a conventional two-wheel bicycle independently (at least 75 feet with no assistance) by the end of our five-day program while attending for only 75 minutes each day! The remaining 20% make tremendous progress towards this goal and leave our programs accompanied by family members trained as ‘spotters’ to pick up at home where we leave off!”

By making a tax-deductible donation, you ensure that children experience the excitement of learning to ride a bike at an affordable price, or even free. A donation of $250 covers the cost for 1 child to attend Variety’s iCanShine Bike Camp.
