— Carson City Parks and Rec offers summer bicycling programs for children, teens. 4:30 p.m. The Shred Kids Mountain Bike Camps program returns for a second summer. Last year, Carson City Parks, Recreation and Open Space offered it for a one-week trial, and it was so popular that there was a waiting list to join. This year we are offering three weeks of the camp, two of the weeks are for beginners and the last camp, in August is for intermediate bikers who participated in the camp in one of the beginner weeks either this summer or last summer. Because this program is volunteer ran, it allows us to keep the costs to the participant much lower, for only $35 for the week. A similar camp elsewhere would cost significantly more. Additionally, Bike Habitat has supported the program by donating time to fix up our fleet of bikes so we have a limited supply of bikes available for participants who don’t have access to a bike. There is no additional charge to use one of our bikes, we just want to get kids out on the trails. The camp dates are June 17-21 (beginner), July 15-29 (beginner), and August 12-16 (intermediate). All camps will be out at the trailhead for Ash Canyon on the corner of Foothill and Winnie. The camps run from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. each day.
