Long Description: The Down Syndrome Association of the Valley is seeking volunteers, ages 15 and older, to assist during a third annual ICan Shine bike camp for individuals with a disabilities. Volunteers will walk, jog or run alongside assigned camp participants as they learn to ride a bike, and provide encouragement and physical support as needed. The camp will be offered from June 13 to 17 at Glenwood Middle School, 7635 Glenwood Ave. Volunteers can choose one of five 75 minute teaching sessions between 9:30 a.m. and 6:25 p.m. Volunteers may expect to walk or jog around three miles during a session. If possible, volunteers are asked to commit to the same session time for each day of the camp; riders often are more successful when familiar with their helpers. A volunteer training session for new volunteers is set for 6:30 p.m. June 12 at the school. A registration form, volunteer form and ICanShine information is available at www.dsav.org. A volunteer form and liability release must be completed and returned to DSAV, 945 Boardman-Canfield Road, Boardman, Ohio 44512. For information, contact Debbie Williams at office@dsav.org.
