T H E U N I V E R S I T Y O F T E X A S A T A R L I N G T O N Wednesday July 28, 2010 Volume 91, No. 127 www. theshorthorn. com Since 1919 The great escape The Down Syndrome Partnership of Tarrant County brought Lose The Training Wheels, Inc. to Arlington to host a five-day camp, during which disabilities children learned how to ride a standard twowheel bike. The camp was held at the Maverick Activities Center in the gym and at a parking lot reserved for the camp. “I’ve been waiting for this camp to come here,” said Debra Kline, a camper’s mother. “I was so excited because it’s pretty hard for these kiddos to learn how to bike ride. ” The camp was split into four 75-minute sessions each day, with each session limited to approximately eight participants. Along with camp participants, volunteers older than 14 signed up to help during each session. Volunteers were needed as “spotters,” people who provided physical support and encouragement to the participants. Lose The Training Wh Less
