About

Pedalheads offers bike camps, summer bike camps, trail riding camps, swim camps, swim lessons, soccer camps, soccer classes, and a kickball tournament. The program includes swim curriculum taught by high-energy instructors and uses a Training Wheels Checklist and obstacle course to assess when a child is ready to remove training wheels.

• Ages: 0–12 years old

Pedalheads offers bike camps for kids 2–12 that take kids from training wheels to riding on the road, and trail riding camps for kids 4–10 with at least 2 hours of continuous riding. Swim camps include longer lessons and smaller classes, and soccer camps and classes for kids 2–8 combine teamwork, maximum ball touches, and one-on-one coaching. Pedalheads has helped more than 700,000 kids gain new life skills through its programs and operates across 400+ locations in Canada and the US.

Pedalheads has been helping kids build their biking confidence since 1995 and has been a leader in bike, swim, trail riding, and soccer summer camps and lessons for kids 2–12 of all skill levels since 1986. The organization started in 1986 when Founder and CEO Claudia Sjoberg taught kids how to swim at one location in Vancouver, launched trail riding in 2007, expanded in the US in 2013, opened its first owned and operated pool in West Vancouver in 2021, launched Pedalheads+ in 2022, and launched Pedalheads Soccer in 2025. The leadership team includes Claudia Sjoberg, Founder and CEO, and Kieran Anderson, Co-owner and Director of Pedalheads Soccer.

The program states its mission as inspiring kids to believe in themselves and describes kids building confidence when they can say “I did it” through its swim, bike, trail riding, and soccer programs across North America. Pedalheads+ was launched to provide no cost camps and lessons to families with geographical, financial, or other barriers. In 2018, Claudia Sjoberg received the 2017 RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur TELUS Trailblazer Award.

Pedalheads has a zero-tolerance policy for bullying or discrimination of any kind and conducts background checks on instructors. The program is described as a nut-aware camp. Camps and lessons run rain or shine, with possible adjustments or cancellations if weather or air quality is hazardous, and decisions are based on recommended guidelines from Canadian and American health agencies for air quality.

One parent from British Columbia reported that their daughter started not being able to swim and by day three she was swimming, and described small classes, an excellent instructor, and clear summaries after each lesson. Another parent from Ontario described an instructor named Mackenzie as patient and gentle, and said their child went from scared to confident and wanted to return the next week. A parent from Colorado described Coach Malik and Coach Sam as great, noted how many miles the kids rode while staying excited to return, and said their child did the trail camp and that it was a great fit.

For swim lessons, kids should bring a bathing suit, towel, indoor footwear, swim diaper for parent and tots class, and optional goggles and swim cap depending on the pool. For bike camp, kids should bring a bicycle, properly fitted bike helmet, water bottle and snack, mosquito repellent, rain gear and/or sunscreen depending on weather, a small backpack, weather-appropriate clothes, closed-toe athletic shoes, and any required medication such as an EpiPen; all-day campers also need sunscreen, lunch, extra snacks, and a change of clothes. For trail riding camp, kids should bring a ready-to-ride bike that is at least 14 inches without training wheels, with front and back hand brakes and gears, a properly fitted bike helmet, a small backpack they can ride with, 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 weather, and any required medication such as an EpiPen; all-day campers also need sunscreen, lunch, extra snacks, and a change of clothes.
