Riding is fun at Bike Camp

Throughout the summer Cascade hosts various bike camps to keep time off from school exciting and fun while learning new skills. There are camps for the experienced and inexperienced, the roadies and the dirt-lovers. Ongoing right now are the YMCA Bike Camps for kids ages nine through 12.  Campers participate in their very own Tour de Seattle as they try different types of biking. They learn how to race BMX at McCollum BMX Park, carve down dirt trails with Trips for Kids at Saint Edward State Park, take jumps at our freeride stunt course, and ride a ten-mile cruise down the Burke Gilman Trail. Looking for open camps? We've got some spots ready in upcoming sessions:
