Pedalheads has been a leader in bike, swim, trail riding, and soccer summer camps and lessons since 1986 and has run more than 1 million kids’ day camps and lessons. Since 1986, it has expanded its programs to include Pedalheads Swim (formerly Atlantis Programs), Pedalheads Bike camps, Pedalheads Trail riding, an annual kickball tournament, and Pedalheads Soccer. The organization operates across 400+ locations in Canada and the US and reports that 700,000+ kids have participated in its fun, active programs. Pedalheads continues to help kids build confidence across these locations through its swim, bike, trail riding, and soccer programs for kids 2–12 of all skill levels.
Swim lessons at Pedalheads use longer lessons, smaller classes, and a curriculum taught by high-energy instructors. For swim lessons, kids are asked to bring a bathing suit, towel, indoor footwear, a swim diaper for parent and tots classes, and optional goggles and swim cap, depending on the pool. For bike camps, kids are asked to bring a bicycle, a properly fitted bike helmet, water bottle and snack, mosquito repellent, rain gear and/or sunscreen depending on the weather, a small backpack, weather-appropriate clothes, closed-toe athletic shoes, and any required medication such as an EpiPen; all-day campers also bring sunscreen, lunch, extra snacks, and a change of clothes, and the camp is nut-aware and asks families to avoid bringing nuts if possible. For trail riding camps, kids are asked to bring a ready-to-ride bike that is at least 14", without training wheels and with front and back hand brakes and gears, a properly fitted bike helmet, a small backpack they can ride with, a water bottle or hydration pack and snack, weather-appropriate clothes, closed-toe athletic shoes (not rain boots or closed-toe sandals), mosquito repellent, rain gear and/or sunscreen depending on the weather, and any required medication such as an EpiPen; all-day trail riders also bring sunscreen, lunch, extra snacks, and a change of clothes, and these camps are also nut-aware and ask families to avoid bringing nuts if possible.
Summer bike camps for kids 2–12 focus on taking kids from training wheels to riding safely and confidently on the road. Trail riding camps give kids at least 2 hours of continuous riding and time to master biking skills with attentive instructors. Soccer camps combine fun teamwork, maximum ball touches, and one-on-one coaching to develop core skills and grow kids’ love for sport. Swim, bike, trail riding, and soccer programs run rain or shine, with possible adjustments or cancellations in potentially hazardous weather, and programs may be impacted by air quality and extreme weather based on guidelines from Canadian and American health agencies. Pedalheads has a zero-tolerance policy for bullying or discrimination of any kind and is a nut-aware camp that asks families to avoid bringing nuts if possible.
The mission of Pedalheads is to inspire kids to believe in themselves, with kids building confidence every moment they can say “I did it,” through fun, adventure-filled swim, bike, trail riding, and soccer programs across North America. Pedalheads+ was launched to provide no-cost high-quality camps and lessons to families with geographical, financial, or other barriers. Founder and CEO Claudia Sjoberg started Pedalheads Swim (formerly Atlantis Programs) in Vancouver, BC, in 1986 at age 26, launched Pedalheads Bike camps in 1995, and introduced Pedalheads Trail riding in 2007. The company began expanding across Canada in 2008 and into the US in 2013, and it now operates in several provinces and seven US states. Claudia Sjoberg received the 2017 RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur TELUS Trailblazer Award. The leadership team includes Founder & CEO Claudia Sjoberg and Co-owner & Director of Pedalheads Soccer, Kieran Anderson.
Parent feedback includes reports of small swim classes, clear communication from instructors about what kids learned and what to focus on next, and children progressing from not being able to swim to swimming within a few days. Other parents describe instructors as patient and gentle, and note that kids who were initially scared became confident and wanted to return. Trail riding camp feedback includes comments about kids riding many miles, being eager to come back each day, and parents viewing the camp as well run with a knowledgeable team.
