Biking Program for 4th-6th Graders

Program Description

Join our BEIP Biking Program for an exciting and enriching experience tailored for 4th-6th graders! Held from July 7-31 at the scenic Topsfield Rail Trail behind Proctor School, this program is designed to improve biking skills, foster team building, and create lasting memories.

Participants will engage in eight structured biking sessions, featuring special collaborative challenges and team-building events. Each session runs from 8:30am to 11:30am, with a detailed schedule that includes a biking assessment on the first day to ensure readiness.

Safety and preparedness are paramount, so children must bring their own helmets, water bottles, and nut-free snacks. They should also have a suitable mountain or hybrid bike in good working order, with rental options available if needed. For those new to biking, pre-program lessons are offered.

The program fee is $315, and registration is open now at the Tri-Town Council. Secure your child’s spot and let them embark on this adventure, improving their biking prowess while making new friends along the way!
