25th Annual Colorado
Jr. Wheelchair Sports Camp
June 9-13, 2008
Gateway High School
Aurora, Colorado
 For
the seventh year running, Adaptive Adventures will offer an
expanded cycling program at the Colorado Jr. Wheelchair Sports
Camp. Last year, nearly 80% of the camps 125 participants
tried out the various types of adaptive cycling equipment.
Our 2008 Team will once again include camp favorite Matt Feeney.
"This is my favorite event of the year," said Feeney.
"There are so many great, enthusiastic kids at the camp...I
can never get enough. What Mary (Carpenter) has done here is
a lesson for all."
This camp is special... it is a sports camp for the physically
disabled, designed for children who use a wheelchair or could
use a wheelchair so they are able to compete in sports. The
CJWSC enables disabled youngsters to enjoy the same experience
a day camp provides to the able-bodied peers. The camp is open to
physically disabled children in grades 1-12 on a first-come,
first served basis. Confirmation of acceptance and the transportation
schedule will be sent to each camper in early June. As a result
of numerous contributors, donations, grants and volunteers, this
sports camp is offered at no charge. Adaptive Adventures is
honored to be a growing part of this spectacular opportunity
for disabled youth. This year Program Director Matt Feeney
will be offering a greatly expanded cycling program during
the camp, culminating in some fun races and challenges on
the final day.
