On June 19 and 20, RHI will host its annual adaptive water ski clinic at Cicero Red Bridge Park. This event is for anyone who is physically disabled and would like to water ski.
The event gives those with physical disabilities the chance to enjoy water skiing. (Photo provided)
RHI has specialized skis and cradles which will allow people with physical disabilities the opportunity to participate in the sport of water skiing. For this event, skiers will use the northern part of the lake, including the “NO WAKE” area in front of The Boathouse Restaurant and Red Bridge Marina. This is done with special permits from the DNR. Skiers will be followed closely by two jet skies with jumpers to assist them if needed.
Please feel free to come out and cheer for these folks, and if you are a boater, please consider avoiding this area during these two days to give them smooth water to ski.
If you are interested in helping with this or if you know someone that would be like to be a participant, please visit the RHI Sports Program Facebook page and click Events, or call 317-329-2281 for more details.
