About This Activity
Adventure Riding Camp caters to older, more experienced riders. A prerequisite for participation is a high comfort level on bikes and the necessary skills and mental focus required for big days on the bike. ARC participants can expect long/moderate or short/steep climbs, the potential for 15+ miles daily, and occasional requirements to carry bikes up/down stairs or other obstacles. Block 4: (Sessions 9 and 10): August 4 – August 15: Bike Camping Focus: This block will culminate in a 3 day, 2 night camping trip to Angel Island! In addition to lots of riding, our first week will be spent together learning camping skills like setting up a tent, preparing food in a camp kitchen, and reading a map. Campers will help us plan our trip menu and our route. During the second week, we’ll load up our bikes full of gear, hop a Ferry to Angel Island, and spend a few days hanging out, riding bikes and playing on the Island before heading back to camp. Wheel Kids will provide meals and basic camping equipment for the trip; campers will need to provide their own sleeping bags, sleeping pads and a way to carry their stuff. There are many lower cost options (including rentals) for hauling gear on a bike, and more details will be sent out after registration to help families find the correct gear.
