Program Description

Little Bellas brings together girls ages 7 to 14 and women mentors in a summer program that uses mountain biking as a vehicle to teach the importance of teamwork, goal-setting, participation a healthy lifestyle.  Once a week during the summer, mentors and girls ride together at a local trail network and participate in group skills and team-building activities. The program is organized around a curriculum that builds upon the previous week’s skill session and the girls are broken up into groups based on age and ability. After the skills sessions, the groups participate in games that incorporate that day’s skill. The session ends with the all-important snack.
