Are you still looking for something for your kids to do this summer? If so you may want to consider sending them to mountain bike camp. The camp is run out of the Morristown-Beard School by myself @SpartaBard and @Robin. We travel to parks anywhere within an hour of Morristown. Here is the link. If you are interested and have questions feel free to touch base with either of us.
We run two different camps:
Beginner Mountain Bike Camp (weeks of 6/27-7/1 and 7/4-7/8) :
With an emphasis on Mountain Biking, this camp for boys and girls ages 9 and up offers attentive instruction and a low camper-to-counselor ratio. Riders of all abilities will learn the basics of mountain biking and safety while making new friends and exploring great trails. Campers should have some experience riding a geared bicycle. We will introduce trail etiquette and bike maintenance and basic trail riding skills to the campers. We will be riding approximately 8-10 miles each day.
Regular Mountain Bike Camp:
Four weekly sessions, weeks of
We typically go to the following parks and mix in a few others:

Hartshorne County Park
Nockamixon SP
Allamuchy SP - Deer Park
A typical day starts off by meeting at the school, throwing the kids in a bus and the bikes in a van and traveling to a park. We ride around/practice skills for the morning, eat lunch and ride around in the afternoon.
