CAMP
This is a camp like no other. Join us for a week of incredible two wheeled experiences around our city. Campers learn independence, road responsibility (including signalling and traffic laws), situation based minor bicycle maintenance and are challenged to accomplish more on their bicycles than they ever thought possible. The camp is offered for 11 - 15 year olds. Your camp leaders are trained and experienced teachers, camp leaders and cyclists.
