What is Trips For Kids Vancouver?

Trips for Kids (TFK) Vancouver is a registered non-profit society that provides mountain biking adventures for youth who would not have the opportunity to participate due to varying barriers to participation.

The focus of our programming is to provide participants with an introduction to mountain biking and the opportunity to build their skills and experience by joining our newly established clubs, workshops and special events. These include the Youth Leaders Club, the Girls, Girls, Girls Program, and Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day. Youth participants are introduced to every aspect of the sport including different styles of riding, bike maintenance and trail building.
