"Lose
the Training Wheels" Bike Camp
Children at camp learn to ride bikes without
training wheels for the first time
6.9-13.08

The Pujols Family Foundation and the DSAGSL
held its annual "Lose the Training Wheels"
bike camp on June 9 - 13 at West County Christian
Church. The camp helps give children with Down
syndrome and other developmental disabilities
the opportunity to learn to ride a bike without
training wheels. The children learn balance,
speed, turning, braking, and safety skills at
the camp. This is the third year of the event
and keeps growing each year, with 37 children
participating in the bike camp this year.
Thanks to Big Shark
Bicycle Company for donating the use of the
bicycles and helmets for the camp. They also
offered discounts to any child who wanted
to purchase a new bike after the camp. Thanks
to West County Christian for donating the
use of their facilities. We would also like
to thank all the volunteers who donated their
time and efforts and helped make this a great
success for the children.
