Trips for Kids Pocono Flow Discovery Trail Rides
Youth Infusion’s Trips for Kids Pocono Flow believes every child deserves the joy of riding a bike and the freedom to explore the natural world on two wheels. Chartered in July 2010, the program has grown in partnership with the National Park Service to provide scenic, safe, and engaging riding adventures. Our rides incorporate personal challenges, physical activity, healthy snacks, and environmental awareness, benefiting kids’ overall well-being.
Biking is more than just fun—it’s a powerful tool for improving mental health and combating youth obesity. Studies show that regular physical activity, such as biking, can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in young people while improving focus and self-esteem. Additionally, with nearly 1 in 5 children in the U.S. (19.7%) classified as obese, programs like this play a critical role in promoting healthier lifestyles.
We believe a child’s ability to access these opportunities to improve mental, emotional, social, and physical health should not be determined by their race, ethnicity, gender, ability, or zip code. Your support helps us keep this impactful program free and accessible to all, empowering the next generation to lead healthier, happier lives.Youth Infusion, Trips for Kids Pocono Flow believes every kid in every community deserves the right to know the joy of riding a bike while enjoying the freedom to explore the natural world on two wheels. The Trips for Kids Pocono Flow Chapter was chartered in July 2010. Since then, Youth Infusion has been working steadily to launch its ride program, in partnership with the National Park Service, which incorporates personal challenges, physical activity, healthy snacks and environmental awareness. We take kids out on scenic, fun and safe riding adventures through gorgeous parks and natural areas.

Youth Infusion’s Trips for Kids Pocono Flow Mountain Biking Ride Program is built on the belief that every child deserves the joy of riding a bike and the freedom to explore the natural world on two wheels. Chartered as a chapter in July 2010, Trips for Kids Pocono Flow has partnered with the National Park Service and The League of American Bicyclists to offer engaging ride programs that foster a connection with nature while promoting personal growth, physical activity, and environmental awareness.
Who Can Participate:
Youth of all ages and their families are encouraged to join in the adventure. Children under the age of 10 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. A waiver must be signed by an adult (18 years or older) for all participants. Bikes and helmets are available at no cost for youth on a first-come, first-served basis, and healthy snacks and water are provided for all riders.
The Experience:
Each ride begins with an opening circle for introductions, followed by important lessons on personal, bike-riding, and trail safety. Participants will complete an equipment check and a pre-ride skills development session to ensure confidence and readiness before hitting the trail.
During the ride, our leaders integrate educational moments, teaching riders to identify natural features such as local flora and fauna, geological highlights, and historical landmarks. Riders will also have the opportunity to engage with a Park Ranger or another environmental expert, who will share key insights about the park, its ecosystems, and current environmental issues. Ride leaders may occasionally pause the group to discuss interesting discoveries or provide a deeper connection to the natural surroundings.
Post-Ride Debrief:
At the end of the ride, participants return safely to the trailhead for a closing circle. During this debriefing session, the group reflects on their shared experiences, lessons learned, and memorable “Aha!” moments from the ride.
Trail Documentation:
Our rides are documented with photos and videos to capture the excitement and joy of the experience. Parents will be asked to sign a photo release form prior to each ride.
By combining fun, education, and adventure, Trips for Kids Pocono Flow ensures a safe and enriching experience for all participants while encouraging a lifelong love for cycling and the outdoors.
