About the Program

Reno Bike Project runs an annual 4-week Summer Camp in July, organized through our Major Taylor Program. This unique experience helps empower youth in our community, guiding group rides through the Truckee Meadows, while teaching road safety and basic bicycle mechanics. We look forward to riding with you!

Each camper receives:
· RBP water bottle
· MTP T-Shirt
· Stickers
· Helmet
· Patch Kit

The first 3 weeks, campers should expect to ride up to 10 miles per day, depending on the route. The final 4th week is our intensive week, where campers may be expected to ride further and off-road. Campers wanting to participate in the 4th week must have been a part of the Major Taylor Program before OR participate in one of the previous 3 weeks.

Intensive campers will additionally receive:
· Bike (camper will build-out on Monday)
· Bike Lock
· Multi-Tool
