The camp runs from December 12-14, 2008 and campers are welcomed from metropolitan Sydney and regional NSW.

Junior Wheelie Sports Program

Junior development is a fundamental objective for WS NSW. The comprehensive Junior Wheelie Sports Program is an excellent way to introduce younger generations to a variety of wheelchair sports whilst increasing their self esteem, confidence and independence.

The 2008/9 Junior Wheelie Sports Program consists of 10 monthly Learn to Play Days which are conducted in Sydney and regional NSW. The days are designed to cover several sports, chair awareness skills and opportunities for the Juniors to meet together and play.

The instructors/ coaches/ mentors are current or retired athletes from the highlighted sport. The sports are typically athletics, wheelchair tennis or wheelchair basketball.
