Bike Riding Training

A unique benefit of participating in our camps is that if your child does not know how to ride a bike, we'll teach them. Through RACC Ride Along, children learn how to ride a bike, the health benefits of cycling, how to ride safely, and how to properly maintain a bike.

Supervised, action-packed, safe, and fun out-of-school programs conducted during the summer, winter, and spring months as well as some weekends and teacher workdays where students enhance academics, develop old and new skills, build self-esteem, and establish friendships.

Whether it's responding to current events or meeting the need of kids having "something to do" on the weekend, our mini-camps are themed-based camps that offer academics, games, crafts, and character development activities to help give kids a taste of what our traditional camps are like.

Community Service

Untitled design_edited.jpg
With a village mindset at our core, our organization forges powerful partnerships with other nonprofits, schools, government agencies, and corporations that share the same passion for providing children with holistic learning experiences and much-needed resources. Projects include holiday givebacks and real-world field trip experiences to name a few.

Through these community service projects, we amplify our impact together, reaching deeper into the community and touching more lives
Community service projects also create opportunities for youth to give back to their communities, helping them foster a sense of responsibility, empathy, and civic engagement. Participants engage in various activities such as neighborhood cleanups, assisting at local shelters, serving the unsheltered, and organizing community drives, all of which help build character and instill a sense of pride and belonging in our youth.
