Summer day camp for
budding bikers ages 3-12

Biking Buds is a Portland-based summer camp built on a simple formula: when kids spend structured time outside, with the space to socialize with peers and take healthy risks, they thrive. Our days are filled with movement, fresh air, camaraderie, and hands-on learning that sticks for life.

Our approach blends the magic of traditional camp culture, the intention of experiential education, and the practical skill-building of a modern day camp. Campers learn biking fundamentals at their own pace, strengthen resilience through supported challenges, and develop social-emotional confidence, all while riding, laughing, exploring, and making new friends.

Everything we do centers on four core values:

Get Outside.
Cultivate Skills & Confidence.
Grow Relationships.
Have Fun.

Biking Buds brings a premium experience to families seeking safe, skill-building, community-oriented programming rooted in the belief that childhood is healthiest outdoors, in motion, and in good company.
