Emerson Health is running its 7th Annual Learn-to-Bike Camp during Spring Vacation week: April 17-21 at Lawrence Academy in Groton. During bike camp, more than 40 children with special needs are taught by physical therapists and volunteers how to ride a bike! Each camper requires volunteers to help motivate and spot them as they learn to bike. Camp is an amazing experience for all involved. For students interested in careers in health care, physical, occupational, speech therapies, recreation, athletics, and teaching, this is an extraordinary opportunity to make a life-changing difference for children and network with professionals during camp.

To participate, volunteers must be 14 years or older and able to run around a hockey rink (without ice). Volunteers will:

- Receive training and mentorship during camp from physical therapists

- Help children with special needs learn to ride a bike – a thrilling experience!

- Earn community service hours and receive a free t-shirt. Free parking is available.
