Held two different sessions this summer
(BATESVILLE, Ind.) – Genesis: Pathways to Success hosted the third annual Kids Building Bikes Camp this summer.
It’s held in partnership with Nine13Sports and it included a session at Margaret Mary Health and another one at Weber Sports in Aurora.
Over the course of camp, students learned about the parts of bicycles, how bicycles work, how to perform routine maintenance, the tools required, and the history of bicycles. The students also learned how to construct their own bicycles.
“What really stood out to me was how excited the kids were about building the bike as much as riding it. A few of the kids told me that they had no clue how the bike worked or what went into building one and that they loved learning about it,” said Weber Sports owner Tim Weber.
At the conclusion of camp, the students were able to test out their newly constructed bicycle through a bike ride.
“My favorite part of camp was the bike ride because it helped me to better understand why people like building this with their hands. Seeing our bikes work perfectly made me proud to say that we built them and can now explain how they work,” said Batesville eighth grader Drew Nobbe.
