Camps
KidCycle Club Summer Biking Day Camps offer your child a way to get immersed into biking fun for a whole week at a time – allowing them to build confidence in new skills and make connections with new friends.
"My son left his first week of KidCycle Club Camp last summer a new kid - the Coaches instilled lasting confidence in him! He attended another week later in the summer and gained even more confidence. I have reserved 4 weeks for this summer because he enjoyed it so much!”
-Dana, KidCycle Club Mama

Once your child is gliding confidently with both feet off the ground and making turns, they are ready to Learn to Ride a Pedal Bike. Our progressive, multi-day camp allows riders to build on each skill set and transition successfully from Balance Bike to Pedal Bike without training wheels in a week’s time. In our Learn to Ride Camp, children will get a review of bike and helmet safety and best practices. Riders will learn to start, ride in a straight line, make turns in both directions and come to a controlled stop. We allow for lots of breaks for activities and games, to make for a fun day of camp.
First Pedal Bike required (hand brakes recommended)
Properly fitting helmet and closed-toe shoes required

Your child is already able to start and stop on a Pedal Bike independently. Riders will continue building their biking muscle memory and learn new skills that they can apply to more advanced biking arenas. In our Greenway Cruiser Camp, Riders will learn about coasting in neutral position, shifting gears, stand-up pedaling and slowing with hand brakes. All of these skills can translate later on to road biking or mountain biking. They will work on these skills at French Broad River Park and then progress to riding the greenways in both directions. We will allow for lots of breaks for activities and games mixed in, to make for a fun day of camp.

Your Big Kid rides a Pedal Bike with hand brakes confidently on paved surfaces. Our Intro to Mountain Biking Camp exposes the Riders to basic mountain biking skills to take to the trails with the KidCycle Club family! We will use a progressive multi-day approach that includes cone drills on grass fields and the skills loops to learn ready position, controlling speed up and down hills and maneuvering around obstacles, with an introduction to shifting gears, if applicable. As always, Riders will get a review of bike and helmet safety, as well as trail safety and etiquette. We allow for lots of breaks for activities and games, to make for a fun day of camp.
