We are very proud of what we accomplished in our first season of Adventure Bicycle Summer Recreation! 44 kids and 16 volunteers explored, grew as individuals, made new friends, were surrounded by smiles, exploration, bike skills, and character skills were learned. Seven weeks of practices flew by, and we are so happy of what we accomplished, and we look forward to next season.
Now we look forward to our 2nd season of making positive differences in the lives of youth, their families, and our volunteers!!! Volunteer registration is OPEN! Kids registration will open on Monday, March 31st and is only $25! Our season will be from July 10th-August 21st on Thursdays from 6-8pm at the Indian River Intermediate School with our July 31st ride starting at Antwerp Primary!!!
Child registration opens on March 31st and will have spots available based on the number of volunteers we have. If you want to make sure more kids can participate, then volunteer. Registration maybe waitlisted if we wait for more volunteers to sign up. Those waitlisted youth in order will be contacted first if more volunteers sign up. We will be doing all of our rides this summer from July 10th-August 21st from 6-8PM starting at Indian River Intermediate School except for the July 31st ride that starts at Antwerp Primary. We hope to have you, and your children join us this summer!!!
Our youth registration opens up March 31st for $25.

Our volunteers sign up as either a on or off the bike volunteer. On the bike coaches lead groups of eight kids with another coach through weekly skills, exploring, getting kids excited to ride, and figuring out fun activities to break up the rides for our younger youth. Our rides are full of smiles, joy, and kids being kids!!! Off the bike volunteers support our check-in/out with parents, take pictures, run supplies when needed, help break down basecamp, and communicate with our director and coaches. There is no cost to register as a coach, however all coaches will need to pass a background check if they are new with us and attend a training day. Kids need consistency from our volunteers to be there for them!!! Will you lead our kids and make a positive change? Volunteers sometime get more out of our program than the kids!

WHAT WE DO
Enhancing the Lives of Children
The North Country Adventure Team is excited for our second season of
adventure bicycle recreation out of Philadelphia, NY for the summer of 2025! We are a 501C3 nonprofit organization. We will be organizing adventure bicycle rides one day a week for 7 weeks starting at the beginning of July 2025 during school summer break. We hold a weekly bicycle ride where kids explore, socialize, and learn bike skills. Many of our kids ride more often outside of our practices with their families and friends. Groups of eight children ages 5-18 will be led by 2-3 adults on 2 hour adventure rides. All adult volunteers have passed a background check and have completed an ambulance and in house training sessions.
WHY WE DO IT
We firmly believe that kids need adventure teams! It gives them a sense of belonging, provides challenges, and develops grit and independence. We have to learn to face adversity by being presented with it at a young age. Life is an adventure; kids need to be prepared and equipped to face adversity. It's not about the bike for us nor is it about a race or a game. It's about kids having the space and time to discover a version of themselves that they didn't know existed. It's about creating a sense of identity, community, and helping kids begin to see themselves as someone who can overcome challenges.
