Cape Code Biking

This bike trip has been an encore trip for many years because the biking trails plus the beach and fun with fellow campers at the Youth Hostel cannot be beat.  The trip is for bikers new to the trips or returning bikers, but campers must have some experience biking and regularly ride.  The trip travels the Cape’s Rails to Trails pathways, with excursions into the surrounding towns and beaches along the way.  Overnight accommodations, travel, meals, and activities are included in the fee.  This trip is a sell out, so make plans early.

Price: 
$595 ($250 if also attending Session II)
Dates: 
July 20 - 24

Skateboarding Trip

Travel to the best skate parks in Connecticut and try out the different ramps, jumps and halfpipes to master your skills.  We’ll bard a van each morning and drive to the park of the day, spending enough time to get your fill of all it has to offer.  Mixed in between are chances to learn and try new techniques and share information with other boarders on the best equipment and places to ride.  On hot afternoons, there will be some time for a swim, or for ice cream, or both!  Discussions will ensure that we design a week that includes what the group wants to focus on.  Al
