This week 31 campers are learning to ride on two wheels.

9th grader Jacob Schemm tells us what he's looking forward to do after camp.

"I can go on bike rides with my family," Jacob said.

"We have an 18-year-old young man that was here today and he actually has a driver's license, but he was never able to learn how to ride a bicycle," said Lisa Ruby, iCan Shine, Executive Director.

She says she's extremely proud of how our community has welcomed this camp over the years.
