MLK Jr. Day Camp Cruisin’, Jan. 20th

This camp will allow your rider to cruise along at their own pace, and will mostly stick to off-street bike trails.

They’ll take it easy and cruise along to playgrounds, parks, maybe the library – wherever their bikes take them.

This camp will feature a trip to Picasso’s at Play – an open studio art, design, and STEM center.

Bike Requirement: Properly fitting two-wheel pedal bike with either coaster or hand brake. Gears optional.

• Ages: Ages 6 – 12. Level 4+ skill level
