Camp Sandy Wheels


The Grand Chute Kiwanis recently visited Camp Sandy Wheels in Mt. Morris, Wis. Residential Camp Sandy Wheels was started in 1979 to provide outdoor recreational activities for individuals with cerebral palsy, physical disabilities, and developmental delays. The Kiwanis Group brought brought along their bikes equipted for persons with disabilities. For some campers, this was the first time they were able to ride a bicycle, and they loved it! In fact, Ron Toshner, president of the Grand Chute Kiwanis, said it was hard getting some campers off the bikes. The group is thinking of purchasing another bicycle, so next year, all campers will have an opportunity to ride.


The Grand Chute Kiwanis meets every Tuesday at noon, at the Golden Corral on Westhill Blvd.
