80s Walk & Roll Afterschool Bike Club

Registration
 

This after-school club for 5th–8th graders in Hood River is equal parts choose-your-own-adventure and real-world skill building. Students learn walking and biking safety, wayfinding, and neighborhood mental mapping—all while exploring their community and having fun with friends.

Bikes/helmets

provided or bring your own

Weather

Our plans will be flexible based on Mother Nature, but generally we will adopt the "no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing" attitude. When it's wet and cold, it's really important that the students have a rain jacket, base layer and water resistant footwear.

Transportation

There is a free bus to bring your child home anywhere in the district at 5:20pm from the Hood River Middle School

Choose-Your-Own-Adventure

Students will have fun taking walks (skateboarding optional) or bike rides to their favorite places around Hood River with a musical soundtrack of their own choosing. They will help plan the route, ride or walk to the destination and receive a treat or gift card from local businesses they visit. Along the way, we will learn the laws and etiquette for walking and biking and how to navigate or avoid tricky intersections. They will also learn to have a sense of direction and the safest routes for getting around town. We will map out their home, the school, friend’s houses and major landmarks.
