An outdoor sports and rehabilitation camp "Center for Active Life" has opened in the Nizhny Novgorod region, which works with 15 by 25 september 2020 years in the sports center "Borsky". Its main task is to make people with disabilities more independent and, first of all, to teach how to use a wheelchair.

Active people with disabilities from both the Nizhny Novgorod region gathered to learn new things, and from other regions of Russia, who want to learn how to use an active wheelchair in particular and the skills of an independent life in general.

The camp shift program includes training in safe movement in a wheelchair, overcoming obstacles, trainings, as well as competitions in adaptive sports. AND, of course, relaxation and communication in nature. During the first practical lesson, the participants learned, falling from the stroller, then go up on your own.
