BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The IU men's basketball team made up part of the over 120 student-athletes who spent Monday evening at Camp Riley, the annual summer camp program that lets children with physical disabilities experience life without limits.
"A camp like that will really open your eyes on how big an impact you can have on kids," said freshman Juwan Morgan in a tweet after his visit.
Every summer, Camp Riley welcomes more than 215 children between the ages of 8 and 18 from throughout Indiana and several other states. IU student-athletes have been coming to Camp Riley for several years and always have an enjoyable experience and a positive impact on the kids.
"It's always fun to get to spend time with this group," added senior Yogi Ferrell. "I like the interaction because this group is so competitive. Having been here before, you see some familiar faces and it's great to catch up."
The student-athletes first met and signed t-shirts for the kids, before taking part in activities from wheelchair basketball to volleyball. There was dancing, archery, human bowling and more.
"This was my first time here and it's something I want to do every year," said sophomore Tim Priller. "You make friends fast and it's great to spend time with so many of the other IU athletes as well."
