Welcome to Trails for Youth.Org!
(formerly Trips for Kids Metro DC)
Looking for a great family fun weekend? Join the TYO family for our annual camping trip with lots of activities, click here.
Whether kids are on the trail to school, riding a bike on a dirt trail or on the trail of life, we provide opportunities for them to be healthier and more confident in their abilities. Our new name, Trails for Youth.org, captures our mission to mentor youth to overcome obstacles on the trail and in life!
Without our programs, there are some kids that simply would not get outside to enjoy fresh air, a bike ride and the opportunity to be active outdoors. As one recent camper said,
“this is way more fun than playing video games!”
Our mission is to mentor at-risk youth and provide opportunities for all children to experience the joys and benefits of being active outdoors. As our programs have become more holistic in fulfilling our mission we changed our name to reflect this greater breadth of programming.
Our programs focus on getting all youth outdoors and active. We have levels of involvement for everyone from a variety of backgrounds — find one that works for you!
- At-risk Youth Nature Rides (Trips for Kids bicycle programs)
- Safe Routes to School
- Youth Mountain Bike Racing
- Camps, Classess, Festivals
