Summer camps teach bike safety and superhero skills

-

Set your child on the path to a lifelong love of riding! From training wheels to trails, Pedalheads ® has safe, fun and challengin­g bike camps for children aged three to 12. Since 1995 over 200,000 children have learned to ride using the Pedalheads ® method. With small classes and exceptiona­l instructor­s, we teach beginners right up to competent riders the skills they need to succeed on the trails and the streets.

Choose between morning camps (9:30 a.m. to noon), afternoon camps (1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.), or all-day camps (9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at select locations). We also offer private lessons. Before and after care is available for all-day camps.

Heroheads

Heroheads is a superhero-themed camp that focuses on the developmen­t of physical skills for children ages four to eight. The program is designed to allow children the opportunit­y to practice the Heroheads Super 7 Skills, which are based off of the Long Term Athlete Developmen­t Model (LTAD): locomotion (run, jump, skip and climb); agility; throwing; catching, balance; kicking; and hand-eye coordinati­on.

Kids participat­e in a variety of skills, drills, obstacle courses, and games to build their superpower­s. Skills are broken down into manageable chunks, with a variety of drills and activities. The focus is on building excitement for the daily events.

On the last day of camp, kids put their superpower­s to the test on the Super 7 Challenge and Heroheads Rescue Race, where at the conclusion, each child receives their very own superhero cape and mask.
