Who is Strider Camp for?
Strider Camp is for anyone wanting to sell Strider Bikes and teach children, teens, and adults of all abilities to ride on two wheels! In the US, we are currently targeting Independent dealers, Parks and Recreation Programs nationwide, physical therapists, and non-profit organizations that work with children with special needs.
Dona Ochsner, our education specialist, and Susie Marcks put the Strider Camp Program together with easy, step-by-step instructions, lesson plans, all the handouts needed to implement the program, and a video showing an actual class in session. We have recently enhanced the program with an Instructor’s Manual containing lessons specifically for older children and adults.
We are in the process of updating the Strider Camp Curriculum and will have the new version available soon.
Please feel free to reference these files, but if you can, wait to print until the new version is available.
