Registration for Two Wheelers Begins on March 3, 2025

Two-Wheelers club is for kids who want to learn to ride, improve on their fundamentals, or gain the confidence and stamina needed for  Lil’ Cruisers or Camp Cruisin’.

The emphasis of TWC is obtaining the balance and coordination needed to ride on two wheels, and to master the fundamentals of starting, stopping, and controlled forward movement. It’s also an opportunity for young riders to gain confidence in their riding skills before tackling the more challenging rides of Lil’ Cruisers or Camp Cruisin’.

Each day of the week provides a mix of on-bike training and practice and off-bike opportunities to play and forget about learning to ride for a while. The day’s schedule is flexible, allowing the kids and coaches to figure out what’s best at any given time – some groups of kids are eager to ride as much as possible while others are more comfortable with a more relaxed pace.

Two-Wheeler’s club is a half-day camp: Monday – Friday 8:30AM – 11:30AM

This camp is open to Level 1 – 2 cyclists, ages 4 – 8.

Bike Requirement: Properly fitting two-wheel pedal bike with either coaster or hand brake. Child must be able to easily touch their feet to the ground while seated.

Once kids have successfully completed Two Wheelers Club they may continue their bicycling adventures by attending Lil’ Cruisers or Camp Cruisin’. When registering children age 6 to 8 in Two Wheelers, you may also register for later LC or CC weeks; however, Wheel Kids reserves the right to hold a child in Two Wheelers Club if his/her skills are not sufficient for LC or CC activities. Children age 5 are only eligible for our Two-Wheeler and Lil’ Cruiser programs.

Lil’ Cruisers is designed for the little ones that are ready to explore on their bikes, but might not be up for a full day of camp! Lil’ Cruisers will embark on adventures daily cruising the local bike trails and hitting up all our favorite playgrounds, and learning trail etiquette, hand signals, and safe biking along the way!

Once each session Lil’ Cruisers will swim at Larkey Swim Center, and visit an outdoor art experience hosted by I Heart Art in Walden Park. This is a fun introduction to Wheel Kids with all the things summer camp. Come Cruise with us!

Lil’ Cruiser’s is a half-day camp: Monday – Friday 12:00PM – 4:00PM, with optional aftercare from 4PM – 5:30PM (available at an additional cost).

This camp is open to Level 3+ cyclists, ages 4 – 8.

Camp Cruisin’ will challenge and inspire your child with unique bike rides and activities in the East Bay and beyond. CC kids are exposed to a variety of bicycle-based activities – daily bike rides, riding skills instruction, bike maintenance, on- and off-street safety skills, share-the-road etiquette, wayfinding, and lots of having fun and messing around on their bikes.

Once each session Camp Cruisin’ will swim at the Larkey Swim Center. Each week of camp, Camp Cruisin’ will also embark on an out of town field trip, with the exception of Week 9, when we visit the Lindsay Wildlife Experience, a local nature museum.

Camp Cruisin’ is a full-day camp: Monday – Friday 8:30AM – 4:00PM, with optional aftercare from 4PM – 5:30PM (available at an additional cost).

Adventure Riding Camp offers a dynamic experience for older, more experienced Riders. ARC does daily rides spanning the city streets and trails. The goal of ARC is not only to enhance on- and off-road technical abilities, but also to emphasize the safety and enjoyment of our riders.

ARC riders will experience a broad range of riding surfaces, from city streets and multi-use paths to off-road trails and technical singletrack. Coaches will work with campers on a wide variety of skills, including safe street riding practices, pedestrian interaction, efficient climbing and descending, gearing selection and pedaling cadence, technical trail riding, obstacle avoidance, jumps/drops, bike maintenance and trail-side repair, and group riding techniques and etiquette.

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.

Each full week of ARC offers two out-of-town field trips either by BART, Wheel Kids van, bus or even boat! Although, every day at ARC is basically a field trip to somewhere. We’re always on the go, exploring, learning, and having fun!
