Youth Outdoors Bike Ride Saturday April 27, 2024

Bikes will be provided for the event and remember that this event is for youth ages 12-18 living in Cuyahoga County.

Please do not forget that without the waiver, you will not be able to participate. If you completed a waiver in the past, it is no longer eligible. I will have printouts of the waiver for those who have not completed the attached waiver at the upcoming outing. Once the waiver is complete and received, you will not need another one for the other outings, it’s a one and done waiver.

It is important that you all dress appropriately for these outings so no sandals, crop-tops, pajamas etc. Youth Outdoors will provide warm weather clothing for those who don’t come prepared but try your hardest to dress according to the weather. Below is the link to learn more about Youth Outdoors for our members.

YALC and YO have been partners for over 10 years and the youth in our program are able to experience and learn to appreciate the outdoors through hiking, biking, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, camping, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, team building activities, nature exploration, service projects and much more.

Please reach out to Angel Poole at [email protected] with any questions or concerns.
