Dear iRide Parents and Teachers of the Western Kootenays,
Happy Summer! I hope you and your family have enjoyed a fantastic summer so far and I am very excited to announce that Cycling BC is creating a new summer camp in Nelson, BC this August 12-16th.
This new camp offers children aged 10-13 with intermediate bike skills ( Level 4-5 ability) the opportunity to learn how to make their own website, create a movie, and master new mountain biking skills.
This camp is facilitated by Cycling BC's iRide program with mountain biking coaching provided by Kootenay Mountain Biking (working with iRide since 2015) and computer coaching provided by Traction on Demand (working with iRide since 2017). The girls only program goes biking in the morning and switches to computer work in the afternoon (12 spots available). The boys only program starts with computer coding and finishes with bike riding (12 spots available). Please note, all participants will need to carry a 2019 Cycling BC Mini-Membership ($15/calendar year). This membership provides sports accident & liability coverage for your child during their camp activities and the mini-membership can get you access to an annual maximum of $400 of financial assistance through KidSport. To apply for financial assistance, please complete this KidSport Application here.
Sincerely,
Ben Chaddock
iRide Manager & NCCP Liaison |
