A4 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 2016 Our Community Bicycle camp rides into town As part of the nonprofi t iCan Shine, the organiza- tion uses adapted equipment, trained professionals and volunteers. Participants are physically assisted and en- couraged by two volunteer spotters. The program touts more than an 80 percent success rate, resulting in participants learning to ride a conven- tional bicycle independently by the end of camp. Parents, teachers and therapists said learning to ride a bicycle can build confi dence. “The gift of being able to ride is the best experience I’ve ever experienced in my life. When I ride I feel free, like I can do anything,” said a 2015 iCan Bike participant. Cindy Middleton helped bring the program to Herm- iston several years ago. Her son, Rian, participated in a similar program in Longview, Washington. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. They must be able to participate during the same 90-minute time period each day of the camp. In ad- dition, volunteers are needed to help pack and put equip- ment away after the last day of camp. The activity includes some light jogging and running. Also, volunteers provide physical, emotional and mo- tivational support to their as- signed rider. This year’s camp is be- ing hosted by the Hermiston School District, Hermiston Kiwanis and InterMountain Education School District.
