SUMMER PROGRAMS
Kids Bike Camp
Kids Bike Camp
Our Intergenerational Bike Camp brings together kids, teens, adults, and families for a week of biking, fun, and community connection! Participants will develop essential bike safety skills, learn how to ride safely on roads and trails with others, and enjoy exciting activities like a Bike Olympics and other fun bike games. Each day includes snack time, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), and team-building activities to support positive experiences on and off the bike.
Why it matters?
Bike camp combines physical fitness, mindfulness, social engagement, and outdoor activity. Kids and families develop confidence, resilience, and healthy habits while building connections across generations.
