One of Dare2tri’s most popular events is the annual Kid's Paratriathlon Training Camp, which is open to youth ages 6 – 21 with a physical disability or visual impairment. To ensure that all youth wanting to participate in the camp can attend, Dare2tri provides transportation for youth within Chicago city limits, as well as scholarships for any athlete who requests it. Camp clinics include open water swimming, cycling, running/pushing, transition, nutrition, and more! The Kid's Paratriathlon Training Camp is hosted annually in July and takes place at 63rd Street Beach in Chicago, Illinois.
