Summer Bike Camp 2025
Summer Bike Camp 2025 is for campers 8-13 years old, and the LGBTQIA+ week for campers 13-18 years old. We have one-week sessions starting July 7th, 2025. If you need alternate dates, please email clare@bikenewportri.org and we may be able to accommodate your child in other weeks this summer.
We provide the bikes and helmets needed to participate.
All campers need to know how to ride a bike and they spend a fun-filled week learning about:
- Bike handling and bike safety skills, basic bike maintenance
- Trail and road riding skills
- Scheduled ‘special sessions’ with community partners.
The Big Blue Bike Barn campus next to beautiful Miantonomi Park is our base for the summer, and our staff comes with an expertise and love for biking that delivers a safe and fun time for everyone.
Bike Camp is made possible in 2025 with the generous support of BankNewport, the RIDOT Division of Highway Safety, and the Bazarsky Family Foundation. Our camps are free for the youth of Newport with a focus on children from families with financial challenges. We welcome all participants to contribute what they can from $0 to $500 per week. All donations help to offset the costs of camp and our other programs.
We try to accommodate every child where possible, however, submission of your interest does not guarantee that space is available for your child. Any donations and final registration will be made once a student is placed in a camp week. We aim to do this as soon as possible and let you know.

Weekly Bike Camp collaboration with FABNewport, July 7th – 25th
July 28 – August 1, co-ed
August 4-8, girls only

By the end of the week your child is filled with bike-happiness and with the independence of knowing how riding a bike safely and confidently. They will have new skills to be proud of, and know how to take care of their surrounding environment.
Registration does not automatically mean the place for your child is conformed. Bike Newport staff will confirm your place. If you have any questions please call Clare Woodhead, Camp Director on (401) 619-4900, or email clare@bikenewportri.org . We’re looking forward to another bike-happy summer!
