Families in Calgary love to bike, for both transportation and recreation. This summer, help your kids stay active, have fun outside, and keep busy learning new skills with Pedalheads summer camps. These are not ‘just’ summer camps. They’re a chance to learn new skills and build confidence. They safely provide independence and they help kids feel great about their achievements. And what an exciting moment it is when your child pedals away without help!
Pedalheads summer camps are well-loved in Calgary, as biking is a fun, active life skill. Pedalheads Bike or Pedalheads Trail summer camps have helped Calgary kids get rid of their training wheels, learn bike safety, and begin trail riding. Depending on the session you choose and your child’s age, you can choose from half or full-day camps and before and after care is available for some camps. You can also consider private lessons. With multiple locations in Calgary and camps at every level, your child will find a spot that’s just the right level of fun and challenge.
Pedalheads Bike
Pedalheads Bike offers exciting camps that give kids (ages 2 – 12) an opportunity to build strength and improve their biking skills. The younger ones will get off their training wheels or move from a balance bike to a pedal bike! The variety of activities keeps the camps interesting for each age. Skills are broken down into manageable chunks with plenty of opportunities to practice and master them before moving on and building on the earlier skills. Don’t forget to pack extra snacks, as the kids get extra hungry after all that activity!
Kids 4 and up: There are 6 Pedalheads levels for children ages 4 and up, so you can find a level that’s just right for maximum enjoyment and appropriate challenge. (See the requirements for each level on the website.) With small camp sizes and positive reinforcement, kids of every level will see improvement in their biking skills. Besides improving their biking proficiency, children will learn important biking safety and age-appropriate maintenance skills. Depending on location, you can register for full-day or part-day camps.
Kids under 4: If you have children under 4, there are also some classes just for them! The Riding Rookies Camp gives tots who are 2 (or turning 2 this calendar year) a chance to practice their skills with a parent in attendance. Kids ages 2 and 3 can check out the Trikes ‘N’ Trainers or Balance Bikers Camps.
Pedalheads Trail
The Pedalheads Trail camps are for anyone who wants to develop trail riding skills and who loves adventuring! Kids ages 4 – 10 will get to explore the local area along the bike trails and continue to develop skills such as riding on various surfaces and riding up and down hills. The older kids will advance to tackle tougher trails. They will also learn bike safety and maintenance skills. There are three levels for Pedalheads Trail, in half-day camps. These camps give kids an adventure in the great outdoors with the opportunity to discover how strong and accomplished they can be!
