Pedalheads runs summer bike camps for kids 2–12, swim camps and lessons for kids 4 months and up, soccer camps and classes for kids 2–8, and trail riding camps for kids 4–10. Swim lessons take place in Pedalheads-owned and operated pools, including a pool in West Vancouver, BC, and a custom-built pool in PoCo, BC. Swim lessons use longer lesson times and smaller classes, with a curriculum taught by high-energy swim instructors, and families can access three make-up swim lessons per lesson set for any reason. Soccer camps combine fun teamwork, maximum ball touches, and one-on-one coaching, and trail riding camps include at least 2 hours of continuous riding. Camps and lessons run rain or shine, with possible activity adjustments or cancellations in hazardous weather, and the program has a zero-tolerance policy for bullying or discrimination of any kind. Pedalheads is a nut-aware camp and asks families to avoid bringing nuts if possible.

For swim lessons, kids need 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 camp, kids need a bicycle, a properly fitted bike helmet, a water bottle and snack, weather-dependent items like mosquito repellent, rain gear, or sunscreen, a small backpack, weather-appropriate clothes, closed-toe shoes like running or athletic shoes, and any required medication such as an EpiPen; all-day campers also need sunscreen, lunch, extra snacks, and a change of clothes, and the camp is nut-aware. For trail riding camp, kids need a bike that is ready to ride, at least 14" and without training wheels, with front and back hand brakes and gears, a properly fitted bike helmet, a small backpack they can ride with (no cross bags), a water bottle or hydration pack and snack, weather-appropriate clothes, closed-toe running or athletic shoes (no rain boots or closed-toe sandals), and any required medication such as an EpiPen; all-day campers also need sunscreen, lunch, extra snacks, and a change of clothes, and the camp is nut-aware.

Parents have shared that their children progressed in swimming within a few days in small classes with clear feedback after each lesson, and that instructors such as Mackenzie were patient and gentle, helping kids feel confident about returning. Another parent described coaches Malik and Sam as great and said their child rode many miles in trail camp and was eager to return, and described the camp as well run with a knowledgeable team.
