Bike/Swim Camp is an instructional program located at Sonoma State University that teaches campers with developmental and/or physical disabilities ages 8-22 how to ride a conventional two-wheeled bicycle. The camp provides an immersion experience for campers learning to ride a two-wheeled bicycle by using specially designed equipment and teaching methods to promote skill development, self-confidence, and self-esteem. The swim portion of the camp provides a “learn through play” recreation activity at the completion of bicycle riding.
