The Montgomery Parks Trail Ambassador Program is a volunteer service AND mountain biking recreational program for high school students. Each of the sessions are two weeks long, Monday thru Friday. Students will work together completing hands-on trail improvement projects in the morning, and after lunch the team will develop biking skills through group bike rides.
Learn trail etiquette, bike safety, and mechanics. Discover the fun, health benefits, and social interactions of group mountain biking rides!
There are two sessions to choose from:
June 17 thru June 28, in Wheaton, MD
July 8 thru July 19, in Germantown, MD
Students must commit to attending this program for the full two weeks!
