University of Northern Iowa

Wheelchair Sports Camp

The UNI Wheelchair Sports Camp will be a three-day camp on the UNI campus with instruction in basketball and track and field. Other recreational activities will be offered during evening hours. The mission of the University of Northern Iowa’s Wheelchair Sports Camp is to give kids with disabilities around the State of Iowa an opportunity to participate in various types of athletic events using a wheelchair. They will benefit from the physical and social opportunities available at the UNI camp by being introduced to new athletic activities in a structured environment. There will be opportunities for instruction, expert coaching, and the refinement of skills. Campers will be encouraged to be as independent as they can, and to have the freedom to interact with their peers.
