Trips for Kids is a non-profit organization that brings at-risk youth, ages 10 to 17, on day-long mountain bike trips in Hillsborough County.  We incorporate bike skills, trail etiquette, environmental education/stewardship and FUN into all of our trips.

On all of our trips, we introduce kids not only to mountain biking but to nature. Our rides take kids on tour of some of our county's most beautiful parks, offering the kids glimpses into some of Florida's most unique and pristine habitats.  It is our goal to have the kids walk away from our trips with a new found appreciation for our parks and the natural resources they protect.  We encourage them to learn more about our local parks and the resource-based activities they provide as an avenue to becoming involved in the conservation and preservation of our natural resources.  We also encourage them to pursue the sport of mountain biking as a hobby to responsibly explore our area's parks and conservation lands.  We believe there is no better way to experience Florida's natural beauty than on the seat of a mountain bike.
