Vancouver, B.C., April 12, 2016 – The coveted Pedalheads and Heroheads summer camps are now available in 50 locations across Canada, offering summer camp programs for 2 to 12 year old children. The programs target specific physical skills ranging from biking, throwing, catching, and balance. Children have fun, learn key life skills and gain confidence while mastering the Pedalheads program. Parents enjoy witnessing their kids’ special Pedalheads moments.
“Working with kids and helping them gain confidence while developing their skills is a great part of my day” says Ben Hall, Ontario Manager Pedalheads. “I also enjoy seeing the parent’s face at pick-up, when their child has mastered key skills eg. riding without training wheels. This is what we call ‘a Pedalheads moment’”.
Pedalheads Programs
All Pedalheads, one-week programs involve learning important techniques: skills are broken down into progressive, manageable chunks. children are placed in small, age-appropriate groups. Top-of-the-line equipment is used, and children are encouraged to play safe, stay hydrated, keep cool and have fun! A typical Pedalheads/Heroheads day begins with a warm-up, followed by an introduction to drills and finally a series of games focusing on basic skills.
