Bike Course Ideas

1. Use chalk to draw the courses on pavement.

2. Bike/run through the courses!

   1. Depending on your campers’ abilities, use actual bikes to ride through the course. Otherwise, they can run through the course with their arms up on imaginary handlebars.

      1. You can also use obstacle courses to teach pre-ride, ride, and re-ride skills for future trail use.

         1. Have campers first assess their course, then run through, then ride through

Level up: Have timed run-throughs, have relays, challenge campers to do the courses with one camper blindfolded and one camper giving directions (do not do this on bikes).
