Pedalheads Bike, Swim, Trail, & Soccer: Parent Interview with Marjorie CelisWatch our Parent interview with Marjorie Celis to hear firsthand what children experience and how they grow at Pedalheads Bike, Swim, Trail, & Soccer. Watch interview |
Quick, short-form reviews, gathered from additional sources.
Sandy M. (parent)"She learned to ride on her first day!" My 4 year old daughter had no interest on her bike until Pedalheads! She learned to ride on her first day! They gave her the confidence but also challenged her to keep her engaged. We were so impressed that we enrolled our 7 year old son into their swim program which is equally as good. It’s the energy of the... Show More |
Ine Van Aken (parent)"The most amazing instructors": Pedalheads Swim "My 6-year-old has been in swimming lessons since he was 4 months old. Despite being in swimming for this long at other locations outside of Pedalheads swim he has always been very hesitant in the water. He just wasn't making any progress and he was getting very frustrated. Often times classes were so short tha... Show More |
Cara Q. (parent)"Really pleased to see how much fun my son is having on his bike" Really impressed with Isabella, Lauren and team at the Renfrew Elementary Pedalheads sessions. Before I had children, I loved watching the Pedalheads classes because the kids are so focused and absorbed in learning. When my son was finally old enough, we enrolled him and his buddy and were not disappointed. ... Show More |
Hartley Facultad (parent)"The trainers are cheerful, encouraging and patient" "My two boys (ages 6 and 4) love Pedalheads and keep begging to sign up for the next level before the current one is even finished. The trainers are cheerful, encouraging and patient. Everything about the camp is top-notch. Thanks." |
Deepa Grim (parent)"She got more confidence in riding." "I am more than happy with Pedalheads. My daughter had a great time and got her training wheels taken off the first day. She got more confidence in riding. The instructors are very helpful, thoughtful and friendly towards the kids and parents. Will definitely be signing my daughter up again :) Thank you Pedalh...

Feresh Dan (parent)"Our guy was riding on two wheels by day three." "Truly a great group. Our son who is 5 was having a tough time trying to ride. We put him in the week long program not with a lot of expectations. To our complete surprise our guy was riding on two wheels by day three. Now he rides with no problem and is very comfortable and familiar with this bike. They t... Show More |
Tiffany W. (parent)"Something we will look forward to doing every year." "We loved this camp!!! Our son was so scared of getting on his bike and then is started riding it with confidence in 3 days! He loved the instructors and it is something we will look forward to doing every year." |
Tanya Dissegna (parent)"Fabulous bike leaders" "My kids fought me and fought me when it came to taking training wheels off or learning how to ride. Both my boys learned how to ride during their first camp! You'd think that no further camps would be needed in the future...but then I learned that higher levels include road safety, including hand signals, pl... Show More |
Dee L N (parent)"I love, love, love the biking camp!" I love, love, love the biking camp! My 5y old was very sad and dejected that he was the 'only' one who couldn't bike without training wheels and was refusing to bike when friends were around. Coach Becky and Coach Mathew were kind, and caring. My son was very worried about falling and hurting himself. They real... Show More |
Margaret S. (parent)"There is no bike camp better then Pedalheads" "There is no bike camp better then Pedalheads. I have four children and my first two children went through Pedalheads 6-7 years ago and now my third child (6) has just completed the Newbies and will be starting Newbies 2 next week. I really did not think he would have picked up riding a bike so quickly (secon... Show More |

Pedalheads began more than three decades ago as principally a biking program. Kids came, learned to ride bikes, and then rode them, together, all over the place. That has continued to this day, though the organization has grown during the intervening years in every way possible: size, numbers, locations, levels, and programs. There are now 75 locations in 4 provinces and 4 US states. There’s good reason for that kind of growth: these are quality programs run expertly, with great care. It’s also due to the focus of the programs—it’s not about training for the Olympics, rather the focus is first on having fun, together with peers and mentors, and growing into active, healthy lifestyles. Kids feel less of a pressure to excel, perhaps as they would in a typical dance studio or gymnastics gym. Without the pressure of those kinds of goals, at least occupying such a central place in the culture of the camps, kids are free to develop skills, yes, but with fun, active engagement, and personal development as the true measures of success. In that, for many families inundated with so many competitive options, Pedalheads is a very welcome breath of fresh air. That isn’t to say there isn’t ample opportunity for skill development—there is—but it’s all within a charming context of, first, just getting out there and doing it. It’s about lighting a fire, before anything else, inspiring kids toward living actively.
