"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." – Albert Einstein

Cycle Camp, an adventurous bike camp for children ages 6 to 14. Capital Cycle Camp has had over 18 years of experience bringing joy and safety to the DMV. Every Summer we ride appoximately 50 to 65 miles a week with our campers. We focus on skill-building rides, safety training, guided trails, and some bike lanes to show youth how accessible getting around by bike truly is. Families can give young riders a safe, structured opportunity to develop confidence, learn proper bike handling, and enjoy outdoor activity under experienced supervision.

We start from Capital Hill every morning and ride to great destinations daily. Its great experiencing the ride to the Zoo, Bladensburg Waterfront Park, local park, pools, gardens, Roosevelt Island, and other sites the most important thing is just having fun!!!

Ride to the Zoo. Northwest routes take us on all day journeys.

Staying Active

City or not, the summer is a time to get outdoors. We believe in staying active and at Capital Cycle Camp we make sure your kids do too. Last summer Cyclers rode on average 50 miles a week. We leave no Cyclers behind. Each Cycler is encouraged to go at their own pace.

Social emotional wellbeing

Social-Emotional well-being is emphasized daily and discussed during our morning meetings. Riders are supported daily through challenges and build confidence with every mile.

SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY= FUN

A couple of our hard working bike counselors, always ready.

Making Connections while being Safe

With biking, safety is a must. We make sure everyone learns to ride as a team and sticks together for a safe and active week on bikes. We consistently go over Safety, Safety, and Safety. We also teach basic bike maintenance and care.

Trek Store Skyland has been a huge supporter of Bike Camp.

Every summer it really takes a team to make camp happen. My Wife, Kids, and Sister have always been a huge support. Every time I ride I think about how it was to be a child again.
