Trips for Kids

“Trips for Kids Arizona’s Children” is based in Flagstaff, Arizona, and offers mountain biking opportunities for youth enrolled in the STAR Program. The STAR Program provides skills training services for youth involved with the Behavioral Health system in order to improve their emotional and behavioral functioning. Through mountain biking, STAR youth are able to learn and practice many life skills including self-care, healthy recreation, bike mechanics, trail etiquette, and environmental stewardship. Mountain biking also provides the opportunity for STAR youth to engage in healthy risk-taking; by overcoming fears and challenges faced on the trail, STAR youth can gain confidence and improve self-esteem.
