Wrench & Ride Camp: Advanced!
Week 3: June 25-29, 2018
Grades: Rising 8th through 12th graders
Time: 8:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Our Advanced Wrench & Ride Camp builds on the information learned in our foundational Wrench & Ride Bicycle Summer Camp. During this week, we will teach the process Revolutions uses for fully overhauling a bicycle. This week-long camp covers the multiple types of bicycle components and their many variations. Each day will have a specific topic addressing a specific portion of the bicycle and how to overhaul and adjust it.
While wrenching is the primary focus of this camp, we will also enjoy trips around the City. These rides will vary between 8-10 miles and will take us to places around Midtown and beyond.
If your teen has a natural curiosity for the way things work and is looking for the opportunity to learn more about bicycles, sign-up for a fun advanced week with Revolutions Bicycle Coop.
PLEASE NOTE that there is no pre-requisite for Advanced Wrench & Ride. However, our foundatioal Wrench & Ride Bicycle Summer Camp is a valuable introduction to topics covered, in the Advanced camp.

BICYCLES: Every Camper should plan to bring a bicycle that fits and is in proper working order. Each Camper should possess the ability to ride consistently for about eight miles with minimal rest. This is approximately four laps around Hyde Lake at Shelby Farms. If your Camper does not currently have a bicycle, come by the shop to buy one before the start of camp.
CAMP FEES INCLUDE: The fees include a healthy snack and plenty of water, plus all activities. Please be sure to bring a working bicycle to ride. Or stop by the Shop to buy one. A bicycle to ride is not included in the camp fee. Please provide your child with a working bike!
