Registration for 2025 SF Sunset Summer Camps will open on January 15th 2025. 

This page is currently under construction, and all information is subject to change before enrollment opens

Please make sure you’re familiar with our summer camp offerings! 

Previously, we had two distinct middle school programs, Urban Cycling and MTB Development. Going forward, these will be combined into our new Adventure Riding Camp. Additionally, the camp formerly known as Adventure Riding Camp will now be aptly named Camp Cruisin’. We also are offering a new camp for San Francisco called Lil’ Cruisers, a great option for new riders! Our learn-to-ride program, Two Wheelers Club, remains unchanged!

Below is a quick overview to help you figure out which camp is best for your child:

  • Camp Cruisin: Ages 6 – 12 (riders are split into groups based on age and skill); Level 4+; A great camp for anyone who loves exploring and having fun on their bike, but isn’t a hardcore rider or thrill seeker
  • Lil’ Cruisers: Ages 5 – 8; Level 3+; An easy introduction to bike camp, for up-and-coming riders who know how to ride independently on two wheels, but aren’t up for the bigger rides of Camp Cruisin’
  • Two Wheelers: Ages 5 – 8; Level 1 – 2; For total beginners, learn to ride on two wheels without the assistance of training wheels, or move up from a balance bike to a pedal bike!

Written request (via email is acceptable) must be received four weeks or more prior to the start date of the registered program to be eligible for a possible refund. 25% withholding will apply. No refunds will be provided for cancellations or withdrawals occurring within four weeks of the program start date. Once a camp session has begun, no refund will be granted for absences, dismissal, weather, illness/injury, or voluntary withdrawal from the camp, or for changes to the camp schedule or program deemed necessary by Wheel Kids staff.

Transfers & Changes

Changing camp sessions/programs after you’ve registered is possible if space is available. Requests to change your session must be submitted no less than four weeks prior to the start date of your currently registered session. Changing to a session/program that’s full will result in your name being placed on the wait-list in the order it was received – if space does not open in this case, no refund or credit will be provided. After May 1, changes to open summer camp sessions will be assessed a transfer fee of $40, payable before transfer is confirmed.

Friends & Siblings

We will try to accommodate friends or siblings who wish to ride together. However, for safety’s sake we need to make sure everyone is riding in the best group for their ability or that more advanced riders know that they won’t be riding to their full potential if they want to stay with a friend or sibling who’s a less skilled rider. If you’re registering along with a friend for the same week(s) and wish to ride together, please let us know.

Wait List

If your desired week(s) fills prior to your registration please proceed with the ActivityHero registration process; once you’ve filled in the information you’ll be added to the wait list. Open spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. If a space becomes available we will contact you to inquire if you’re still interested in registering. If you decline or respond after 48 hours of notification you will be removed from the wait list for that particular week.

Enrollment & Attendance

We ask that every effort be made to have your child attend on the first day of the week when we review rules, get acquainted, and assess the skill level of all our riders.

Age Limits

We cannot make exceptions to our age limits.
* Schedule and events are subject to change. Minimum registration of 8 participants per week is required. Registered participants will be notified of cancellation due to insufficient registrations; a full refund will be provided. See Refunds page for refund policy for all other circumstances. A waitlist will be available once registration is full.

All San Francisco Sunset camps are held at St Gabriel School.

Two Wheelers Club

Ages 5 – 8

Learn to Ride

Two Wheelers Club runs sessions 2, 4, 6, and 8.

Two Wheelers Club is for kids who want to learn to ride, improve on their fundamentals, or gain the confidence and stamina needed for adventure riding. The emphasis of TWC is obtaining the balance and coordination needed to ride on two wheels, mastering starting, stopping, and controlled forward movement, and gaining confidence in riding skills before tackling the more challenging rides of Lil’ Cruisers or Camp Cruisin’.

Wheel Kids is an adventure exploration camp and our daily schedules are dynamic! Daily schedules are determined by coaches and our subject to change depending on group interests and ability levels. In addition to two wheel practice, campers can expect to explore San Francisco by foot, public bus, or, when they are ready, short trips on their bikes! Each session, Two Wheelers will take one “field trip” (usually on Thursdays) to the San Francisco Zoo!

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

This camp is open to riders Level 1 – 2, ages 5 – 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. Single speed bikes are recommended at this level.

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.

For everyone that loves to ride their bike and seek outdoor adventure

Camp Cruisin’ runs sessions 3, 5, 7 and 9.

Camp Cruisin’ (formerly Adventure Riding Camp) will challenge and inspire your child with unique bike rides and activities in San Francisco 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.

Wheel Kids is an adventure exploration camp and our daily schedules are dynamic! Daily schedules are determined by coaches and our subject to change depending on group interests and ability levels. CC groups ride both on and off road around local parks, slow streets and bike routes and lanes. Depending on a group’s ability level, typical CC rides range from 5-10+ miles a day, with stops at local museums, to go geocaching or play kickball, and more amazing adventures!

One day each session offers either an in or out-of-town field trip to an exciting local destination, while every day at CC is basically a field trip to somewhere. We’re always on the go: exploring, learning, and having fun.
