Trips For Kids - Seattle

“At first I didn’t
really want to
come at all, but
now I really want
to come back.
It was awsome”
- Cassie

 

Mission Statement

Trips for Kids is a nonprofit organization providing mountain bike outings and environmental education for kids who would not otherwise have these opportunities.

Our goal is to combine lessons in personal responsibility, achievement and environmental awareness through development of practical skills and the simple act of having fun.

 
     
         
 

Kids Programs

Trips for Kids Seattle takes Seattle area kids between the ages of 10 and 17 for three-hour mountain bike adventures. Trips are primarily on weekends in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. All of the gear is provided: bikes, helmets, gloves, Clif Bars and full water bottles.

Kids learn trail etiquette, rules of riding, bike skills and an appreciation for the environment. To create a safe and meaningful experience, we restrict group sizes to 10 participants.

At the end of each ride, we reflect on the day and share what we have learned.

There is a $75 administrative fee for each group of 10 people.
