And chances are, if you want to see your child succeed, you might feel like you need to do everything in your power to get them there. In the context of learning how to ride a bicycle, **the temptation to lend a physical hand is strong.** “I’ll just steady them for a second”, you might think. Or “I can just hold one handlebar, they’re doing most of the work”, you could venture. While working for [Avid4 Adventure](https://avid4.com/) this past summer **I learned a hands-off technique to teach training-wheel-free biking that relies entirely on the power of demonstration, clear communication and patient encouragement** and it blew my mind. The [steps](https://youtu.be/n0TB0ttpnYE) below provide a tutorial of this biking technique taught at Avid4 Adventure Learn to Bike summer camps (though keep in mind we haven't shared all of our secrets!). Before you dive in to step 1, you'll want to make sure that your child has their own [bike](https://gear.avid4.com) that fits them properly.  [Read More](https://blog.avid4.com/blog/how-to-teach-your-child-to-ride-a-bike) Topics: [Skills Learned at Summer Camp](https://blog.avid4.com/blog/topic/skills-learned-at-summer-camp) [Learn to Bike](https://blog.avid4.com/blog/topic/learn-to-bike) [![](https://blog.avid4.com/hubfs/Golden%26Wash_Week8_7-16-31-1.jpg)](https://blog.avid4.com/blog/avid4-adventure-day-camps-sneak-peek-safety-skills-memories-more) October 22, 2020 ###### [Day Camp Sneak Peek: Safety, Skills, Memories & More](https://blog.avid4.com/blog/avid4-adventure-day-camps-sneak-peek-safety-skills-memories-more) Share This [Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https://blog.avid4.com/blog/avid4-adventure-day-camps-sneak-peek-safety-skills-memories-more&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&text=Avid4%20Adventure%20Journal%20|%20Skills%20Learned%20at%20Summer%20Camp&tw_p=tweetbutton&url=https://blog.avid4.com/blog/avid4-adventure-day-camps-sneak-peek-safety-skills-memories-more) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://blog.avid4.com/blog/avid4-adventure-day-camps-sneak-peek-safety-skills-memories-more&display=popup&ref=plugin&src=like&kid_directed_site=0) [Google Plus](https://plus.google.com/share?app=110&url=https://blog.avid4.com/blog/avid4-adventure-day-camps-sneak-peek-safety-skills-memories-more) [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://blog.avid4.com/blog/avid4-adventure-day-camps-sneak-peek-safety-skills-memories-more&media=https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/524285/Golden&Wash_Week8_7-16-31-1.jpg) [![](https://blog.avid4.com/hubfs/Golden%26Wash_Week8_7-16-31-1.jpg)](https://blog.avid4.com/blog/avid4-adventure-day-camps-sneak-peek-safety-skills-memories-more) So, you’ve heard about [Avid4 Adventure](https://avid4.com/) and are thinking of signing your child up for the program.

The sound of laughter and joking around rings throughout the cafeteria as kids plan for a skit night that evening.
