Learn to Bike (Ages entering 1st-3rd grade)
Developed from our highly successful Learn to Bike clinics, this one-week Y-Riders camp is designed to get campers off of their training wheels and teach them basic bicycle riding skills.  Each day campers will receive targeted instruction based on their current ability.  Campers will work on finding their balance, controlling the bike, stopping and starting and other skills needed to make riding a bike fun.  Campers will also enjoy group games and time to just play!  Helmet and bike safety check is required, as well as a bike small enough that the child can firmly touch the ground while seated.
