Apply to Attend the 2nd Annual KBF Adaptive Mountain Bike Camp in East Burke, Vermont!

Adaptive Mountain BIking at Kingdom Trails

The Kelly Brush Foundation is excited to announce the 2nd annual KBF Adaptive Mountain Bike Camp taking place September 27-30, 2022. This opportunity will engage and bring together the SCI community to build camaraderie and gain further independence in adaptive sports.

This year’s camp will focus on creating an opportunity for those who have previously received grant funding or otherwise acquired an off-road handcycle to level up their skills and get to know their own equipment.

Adaptive Mountain BIking at Kingdom Trails

Other conditions are not eligible for this program, including (but not limited to) spina bifida, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, post-polio, Guillain-Barré-Strohl Syndrome, ALS, all other neuropathies, and all other conditions causing disability.

For this camp, we require individuals to already own an adaptive mountain bike with e-assist. You will need to be able to provide your own transportation for yourself and your handcycle to East Burke, VT with up to $500 in travel vouchers included (flight, gas, train, rental car).
