Kids Roll into Camp
More than 100 children from all over the state recently spent a week at Gateway High School for the 26th Annual Colorado Junior Wheelchair Sports Camp. The camp provides children who use wheelchairs the opportunity to enjoy a traditional camp experience not often available to them.
The camp introduces children ages 6-18 to both recreational and competitive wheelchair sports.
“I like all the sports and it’s a good way to meet new people,” said 7-year-old Kyle Taulman.
Adult wheelchair athletes and community volunteers provide instruction in various activities including softball, archery, basketball, fencing, golf, swimming, tennis, rugby, hand cycling and more.
