iCan Bike Camp 2018

Maggie McHugh from Notre Dame asked me to share their bike camp information with the members of DSIG. This year they will be hosting this camp for their 9th year! I can tell you from personal experience that this was one of the best decisions that I have made in my life when I decided to sign Lauren up for this camp! We did not find this camp until Lauren was 21 years old, but I always knew that she could ride, we just needed to find the right way to teach her. Thanks to this camp, Lauren is an awesome and safe bike rider and we very much enjoy our very long bike rides in Ocean City, NJ!

When: June 25-29, 2018
Where: Academy of Notre Dame
560 Sproul Road
Villanova, PA 19085

Registration Form

DSIG will reimburse families who are current, paid members of DSIG, for the cost of one camp, at the completion of the camp. You will need to pay for the camp up front, and then once your child has completed the camp, you can submit a receipt for reimbursement to DSIG for the cost of the camp.
