Youth Summer Bike Camp (Tucson)

Gear up for summer with Tucson’s Youth Summer Bike Camp, a weeklong half-day program dedicated to teaching kids ages 7 to 13 the basics of biking in a fun, safe environment. Counselors, all of whom are certified through the League of American Bicyclists, focus on safe-riding skills, mechanical knowledge, bike handling, and exposure to health and wellness through a variety of hands-on activities. Don’t hesitate if you haven’t been able to shed the training wheels just yet. All skill levels are welcome and by the end of the week, the kids will be popping wheelies like nobody’s business.

Half day: weeklong sessions from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. are $150 (financial assistance available with application).
