"Explore the park and beyond on two wheels as campers build
confidence, independence, and outdoor skills! Bike Explorers blends
riding adventures with hands-on science that explains what makes bikes
(and bikers) work. Campers practice safe riding habits, improve
shifting and braking, and learn basic maintenance and
beginner-friendly repairs. They’ll investigate biking physics
through quick experiments—like testing how helmets reduce impact and
building gyroscopes to see balance in action. Daily rides include
stops along the Los Gatos Creek Trail to observe habitats, look for
wildlife signs, and connect engineering to the natural world. Campers
will also head outside for guided nature observations to strengthen
real-world field skills. Logistics: Campers must bring a properly
fitted helmet and a two-wheel bike with gears in good working
condition, and be comfortable riding hills; YSI cannot provide
overnight bike storage."
