Learn to Ride a Balance Bike - Summer Camp

Camp Basics

At Bike Freedom Academy, our mantra — Balance! Play! Explore! — guides every ride, every game, and every joyful moment.

Our Learn to Ride a Bike summer Camp is a playful, confidence-boosting program designed to help kids ages 5–7 master the skill of riding a pedal bike — all at their own pace.

Through small group coaching, imaginative games, and lots of encouragement, we focus on building balance, coordination, and independence — both on and off the bike. We don't just teach kids to ride — we help them love the journey.

What to Expect

Every day at Bike Freedom Academy camp is a mix of movement, imagination, and skill-building:

• Fun warm-up games to get bodies moving

• Confidence-building bike challenges

• Creative obstacle courses and playful pedal games

• Breaks indoors for snacks, cool-down, arts and crafts, and regrouping

• A supportive, flexible environment where each rider grows at their own pace

Kids will learn how to:

• Balance, steer, brake, and pedal

• Start and stop safely

• Ride with confidence

• Build resilience, patience, and focus through playful practice

Above all, they’ll leave camp with the joy of riding and a huge smile on their face!

FAQs About Our Kids’ Summer Bike Camp

What if my child can’t ride a bike at all yet?
Perfect! This camp is specifically designed for beginners. No bike skills are necessary — just a readiness to have fun and try!

Do I need to buy any special equipment?
Nope. Riders just need to bring a bike that fits them well and a helmet. We’ll handle everything else!

What happens if it rains?
We have access to indoor space, so camp will continue with fun, safe activities no matter the weather.

What’s the camp size?
We keep group sizes small to ensure lots of personal attention and coaching for every rider.

Can parents stay and watch?
Parents are welcome to stay for the first few minutes to help with check-in and warm-up. After that, we encourage kids to build independence with their coaches and new friends! On the last day, we will have a fun send-off to show parents the new bike skills. Details will be sent as the camp date approaches.
