The Adaptive Sports for Kids Summer Camp at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab is a dynamic one-week program for youth with primary physical impairments who are independent in daily living skills. Campers aged 6-21 participate in a variety of adaptive indoor and outdoor sports, including sled hockey, wheelchair softball, pickleball, cycling, archery, and wheelchair football. A fun-filled day at the beach is also included. The program focuses on promoting physical fitness, fostering independence, and encouraging social engagement among participants. Equipment is provided, and the camp is free of charge. Through participation, campers develop athletic skills, build confidence, and gain a sense of community.
The camp runs Monday-Friday, 9:30 am-3 pm, with each day offering opportunities to learn and play two different adaptive sports.
This camp is ideal for youth aged 6-21 with a primary physical impairment who are independent in daily living skills and eager to explore various adaptive sports in a supportive environment.
