They’re talking about MDA summer camp – a fun-filled week for children with neuromuscular diseases that takes place at over 90 different camps across the country.

MDA summer camp is a week that is free of the barriers that might ordinarily get in the way of fun for a child who uses a wheelchair or has other mobility limitations.

Campers enjoy accessible activities like swimming, horseback riding, arts and crafts, sports and games, and making lifelong friendships with kids who are living with similar challenges.  Parents enjoy a week of respite from what can be an intense schedule of caring for their child’s special health needs.

H.O.G. chapters and enthusiasts add to the fun at dozens of camps with “Harley-Davidson Day” – another highlight that usually begins with the unmistakable thunder of a parade of bikes entering the campsite.

" Many campers treasure the chance to sit on a bike for the first time! Many even dress the part with a temporary tattoo, bandana and some leather for the day. H.O.G. members often find the day to be just as memorable for them, and make it an annual summer event."
