It's called Yukon Trails in Lyndon Station WI, they have igloo lookin things for cabins and it's about 15min from Wisconsin Dells (water park capital of the US)... Like I said though, it's probably between the 2-3hr mark from Chicago.

Some bike clubs love to help new riders. My son (who has Ds) was a part of a typical bike club for many years - he began by riding a tandem bike. He never needed training wheels - went straight from a tandem to a 2 wheeler. I found that my son could not ride a trike. The pushing forward motion needed he could not do. He also has trouble with a recumbent bike for the same reason. Some ARCs have bike training. Some bike clubs love to help new riders.
