Trips For Kids of Harrisburg

Hopefully Back in 2023

After COVID shutdown operations in 2020 and 2021, we only had one ride in 2022.

2019 Summary

Trips For Kids Harrisburg made 11 trips with 106 kids this year. Our clients included the Boys and Girls Club, St. Barnabas Center, HICO and LOOP BnG. We will be celebrating our 10th year of operation in 2020.

The 2020 schedule is wide open except for the summer program, so if you want to schedule a Spring or Fall ride, please let me know anytime. Since 2011, we have taken 99 trips with 899 kids. We maintain a fleet of 32 bicycles and 24 helmets.

2018 Summary

Trips For Kids Harrisburg made nine trips with 109 kids this year. Our clients included the Boys and Girls Club, St. Barnabas Center, HICO and LOOP BnG. The operation was moved to City Island temporarily, and rides were lost when the rising waters of the Susquehanna River caused a hasty relocation.

The 2019 schedule is wide open except for the summer program, so if you want to schedule a Spring or Fall ride, please let me know anytime. Since 2011, we have taken 88 trips with 793 kids. We maintain a fleet of 32 bicycles and 24 helmets.

2017 Summary

Trips For Kids Harrisburg made twelve trips with 127 kids this year. Our clients included the Boys and Girls Club, St. Barnabas Center, HICO and LOOP BnG. We also updated our promotional materials with the new logo.

The 2018 schedule is wide open except for the summer program, so if you want to schedule a Spring ride, please let me know anytime. Since 2011, we have taken 79 trips with 684 kids. We maintain a fleet of 32 bicycles and 24 helmets.

2016 Summary

This year we took nine trips with 91 riders, making our six year totals, 67 trips with 557 riders. Clients this year were old friends HICO, LOOP BnG, UMC NC TECH, St. Barnabas Center and the Boys and Girls Club, but we also added the Camp Curtin Academy for what amounted to a field trip out of school.

Many of our 2016 summer program trips were cancelled this year because of oppressive heat and humidity. We are looking for new clients in 2017 to serve during the spring and fall.

Our parent organization was busy providing new logos to all chapters and streamlining the year end reporting processes.

Thank you!

We’d like to thank the family and friends of Kevin Breckenmaker. This past July, the family designated TFK of Harrisburg for memorial contributions resulting in donations exceeding $1,300.

This past fall, volunteers from Quality Bicycle Products tuned all the bicycles in the garage. We recently acquired six new Raleigh bicycles from the Pedal Pusher at a substantial discount. The bikes were assembled by QBP volunteers in Lancaster.

We are able to operate this chapter through the generosity of these donors and volunteers.

2015 was our best year, ever

We completed twelve rides with 139 riders. Thanks to Harrisburg ICO, UMC Neighborhood Center TECH, St. Barnabas Center and as always the Boys and Girls Club.

2015 Best Year Ever, and it’s not over yet

We have surpassed our last year results, but we are still looking for rides in the coming months. If you know of an organization serving city youth who might be interested in a bike ride, please let me know.

2015 Shaping up very well

We are about halfway through the summer programs and have completed six rides with 78 riders. We’ve served Harrisburg ICO, UMC Neighborhood Center, St. Barnabas Center and of course the Boys and Girls Club.
