Last week, OnMilwaukee.com published a guide to day camps, and here’s one more that sounds pretty good. Bike Kids Wisconsin is a week-long biking camp for middle school-aged kids in Milwaukee.
The sessions run from June 13 to Aug. 22. The cost is $350 per week or $650 for two kids. Although this is about $100-150 pricier than other summer day camps, the amount of time spent at camp each day is longer, from 7:30 a.m. to 5 or 5:30 p.m. (Many other day camps run from about 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and require an extra charge for before and / or after care.)
The camp offers bike instruction, bike repair lessons and long bike rides every day to an educational and fun destination.
"Each day we bike to a different activity: rock climbing, Discovery World, Milwaukee River Boat Tour, Growing Power Urban Farm tour and a day at the beach," says counselor / bike instructor Erin Clapper. "After the activity and lunch we head back to Glendale."
