Many of the children who have attended past camps now play for the Junior Wheelchair Bulls. Others just have a great time, enjoy the exercise and look forward to spending time with other children with disabilities. Either way, it's a day the kids always look forward to and we never let them down. Camps are usually held at Centennial Park in Addison. Additional camps are also sometimes scheduled for downtown Chicago.
Camps are usually a half a day and end with lunch with the team.
Afterward, the team takes the kids on the court for an hour of fun. Some of the kids, who are under the age of 7, don't have the strength to even hold a small basketball let alone shoot one. So the Wheelchair Bulls bring in smaller balls and baskets for those kids. The event is sponsored by Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital, Wilson Sporting Goods, Northeast Dupage Special Recreation Association, and Enesco.
