Our Melanin in Motion Camps have been in development for the past four years.  These camps are helping us broaden our reach of getting children outside and riding bikes by providing an experience that is specifically geared toward black and brown children and youth.  During the week we provide appropriate staffing, as well as a group of community cyclists that support and mentor our riders as volunteers.

First Wheels camps are meant for beginning riders who have just learned to ride and can start and stop on their own.  They should also be able to ride in a line by themselves.  If your child cannot yet start their bike independently, this camp isn't recommended for them.  During our week of camp, we will start with lots of practice and very short greenway rides, and gradually work on our skills and stamina throughout the course of the week.  The length of our rides generally depend on the skills and desires of the children in our camp groups, but children should expect to ride between 3-8 miles per day, with one longer ride on Thursday.
