2024 Youth & Family

5:40 PM – Volunteers arrive at Basecamp
5:45 PM – Volunteer Pre-Ride/Pre-Run meeting
5:50 PM – 6:00 PM – Youth and parents/guardians arrive at Basecamp. Parent/Guardian escorts youth to their assigned station and waits until after the Volunteer Meeting to engage in an intentional exchange of custody. Arriving after 6:00 PM could result in your youth missing their opportunity to participate that night.
6:00 PM-7:50 PM – Adventure Bike/Run Club
8:00 PM – Parents/Guardians arrive at their youth’s station for an intentional exchange of custody.

Adventure Bike Club start and end dates are generally selected to line up with when school gets out for the summer and returns for the fall. Registered youth will participate every week on their scheduled night from 6PM-8PM (unless there’s a night their scheduled to be off or an inclement weather cancelation).  Check back for the exact start and stop date for your community. 

Attendance Policy: If you sign up your youth for Adventure Team, we expect that your youth will attend 80% or more of the rides. If your youth is in another sport and/or has several vacations planned, this might not be a good fit. Our program fills up each year and we want those spots to go to children who will attend each week. Reach out to us if you have any questions about our policy.

It could happen but it won’t be intentional. We don’t set groups based on requests or skill. We set groups based on age. Part of the ABC experience is allowing children to step outside their comfort zone and do hard things. Sometimes that means being in a group with other kids they don’t know… and we think that’s a good thing.

Yes, it’s right here.

In addition to a bike and helmet (or running shoes), youth are required to bring a snack, water, closed-toe shoes, required meds, and their 2024 ABC shirt and 2024 ABC nameplate. If your child shows up without the required gear, they won’t be able to stay. We get asked a lot about the shirts… yes, we mean it. Nameplates and shirts create a sense of unity and community. And, having an identifiable shirt and nameplate acts as a huge safety measure for all participants. We expect all youth and volunteers to adhere to this requirement.
