Bike Camp Graduation Series 2026
Hosted by the Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council
📍 Riverside Park, Providence, RI
📅 Multiple Dates | April–August 2026
🎟 Free and open to the public
Overview
Join us for free community bike rides celebrating the newest graduates of our Red Shed Bike Camp program.
Starting in April with Girls Bike Camp and continuing throughout the summer, we host a weekly graduation ride on the Friday of each camp session. Families, friends, and community members are invited to ride alongside campers as we celebrate their accomplishments on the Woonasquatucket River Greenway.
Each ride begins at the Red Shed Bike Shop in Riverside Park, travels to the Manton Outdoor Classroom, and returns to the Red Shed. Our campers spend their week riding through the watershed, learning bike safety, basic maintenance, and environmental stewardship while building confidence and a love for biking. Graduation day is a joyful way to cheer them on and experience the Greenway together.
