The first junior wheelchair sports camp was started in June 1984. This
free camp open to physically disabled youngsters ages 5-18 was held
at Overland High School and Utah Park in Aurora, Colorado.Ê Until
1981, there were no sports programs like this specifically for kids
in wheelchairs.Ê For many years, there have been programs for the
mentally challenged and severely handicapped children, but nothing
for disabled children who were "mainstreamed," that is, able to
participate with and compete with able-bodied children.Ê But now,
through participation in the Junior Wheelchair Sports Camp, these
children have the opportunity to see that their possibilities are
limitless...that handicaps in life are only as big as one cares
to make them.
