BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Bend Endurance Academy announces the opening of Spring Cycling Program enrollment. Starting April 13, BEA will offer after-school mountain biking programs for youth ages 4-15 from Bend-area schools.
Programs include transportation directly from school to local trails, professional coaching, and lots of fun. Program enrollment is now open and participants are encouraged to enroll today as space is filling up quickly.
“We are excited to expand our after-school mountain biking programs for youth in Bend,” said Virginie Calme, After-school Cycling Program Coordinator at Bend Endurance Academy.
“In addition to our Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday programs, BEA is now offering Monday programs for school-aged children in Northeast Bend and Friday programs for youth attending REALMS Middle School, Cascades Academy and the Bend International School. We hope this expanded offering will help alleviate the need for after-school care while providing a fun, active outdoor experience for kids.”
