WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Registration is now open for two summer camps hosted by Coastal Bringing Up Down Syndrome (BUDS).

iCan Dance Camp will take place July 6 – 10 at DC Virgo Preparatory Academy.

iCan Swim Camp will take place July 27 – 31 at the YWCA Lower Cape Fear.

Both camps are designed to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities through adapted instruction.

iCan Dance Camp is a week-long program for individuals ages 5 and up with disabilities.  Each dancer learns a choreographed routine with the help of iCan Shine-trained instructors and volunteers. On the final day of camp, all participants will showcase what they learned in an on-stage performance.

iCan Swim Camp is a water safety and adapted learn-to-swim program for individuals 3 and older with any disability. Sessions are led by trained adapted aquatics instructors, and each participant has 1-to-1 volunteer support.

Registration is open now for dancers and swimmers.
