Trips For Kids Harrisburg provides bike trips to Harrisburg area youth ages 10 to 18 in conjunction with other local non-profit and government organizations that serve our children. Our objective is to build body, mind and spirit, increase respect for self and the outdoors, and by all means to have fun. Trips occur primarily on the Capital Area Greenbelt, a 20 mile walking and biking trail around and in the City of Harrisburg. Trips last approximately three to six hours and begin in Reservoir Park. Participants begin each trip with a bike and helmet fitting and a safety overview that includes safe riding tips and rules of the road.

For more information or to schedule a trip, please contact Scott Shepler at 717-236-0261. Anyone wishing to volunteer to help with the chapter would be greatly appreciated.

Trips for Kids Harrisburg is fiscally-sponsored by The Boys and Girls Club of Central Pennsylvania and is an affiliate chapter of Trips for Kids, a national 501c3 nonprofit youth development and education umbrella organization. Trips for Kids’ mission is to give every kid in every community the opportunity to know the joy of riding a bike and the freedom to explore the natural world on two wheels.

Since 1988 Trips for Kids has grown into a vast network of chapters located throughout North America. Trips for Kids has enriched the lives of more than 230,000 youth through Discovery Rides, Adventure Clubs, Mobile Bike Clinics, Earn-a-Bike Workshops and Youth@Work programs that help youth to be more active, experience natural places, gain environmental and STEM-based knowledge, build confidence and develop job readiness skills.
