Les Aventuriers

City adventure #1 – 26.2 Biking Camp (June 29–July 3) Campers will learn the rules of driving a bike in the city, how to change a flat tire and how to do other basic repairs to their bike.

City adventure #2 – 26.2 Biking & 13.1 Trekking camp (July 6–10) In this very active camp, campers will both bike the distance of a full marathon and walk the distance of a semi-marathon in the course of a week. We will bike to exciting locations and trek through Chicago’s most beautiful nature spots along the lake, by the river or in the forest preserve. Distance walked and biked will help raise money for a community service project chosen by campers. Campers will also follow the Tour de France and learn about daily stages, individual riders and visited cities. Et tout cela en Français ! Camper must bring own bike to camp.

City adventure #5 – Chicago Museums (July 27-31) We all know the Field Museum and the entire Museum campus, we all love the Art Institute or the Museum of Science and Industry.
