Easy Treks
Explore scenic bike paths and gentle terrain. These treks are great for first-time riders who want to focus on fun, friends, and the journey — not the miles.
Moderate Treks
Ready to push yourself a little further? Moderate treks balance challenge and chill — perfect for teens with some biking experience who are ready for adventure, but not looking to climb Everest.
Challenging Treks
Steep climbs. Long days. Epic rewards. These treks are for experienced, motivated riders who want to see what they’re capable of — physically and mentally.
Get to Know Teen Treks
We are a not-for-profit organization leading self-supported bike trips for teenagers.
It all started with a bike trip from Niagara-Toronto during the American Youth Hostel (AYH) Movement nearly 25 years ago. Now, Teen Treks has evolved to lead 17 bike adventures across the U.S., Canada and Europe.
We still foster the mission of AYH tours, enabling teens to experience multi-day bike touring while carrying their own gear, setting up camp, navigating their adventure and cooking at camp, all in a collaborative team environment. We think biking is the best way to travel, especially in our busy world.
Bike travel allows teens to slow down, be present, and learn about the people, places and perspectives as they travel through diverse destinations across the world. For decades, we have watched as bike trips have molded and inspired many teens lives, helping them realize their potential, build lasting connections and gain evolved views for the world they live in. If you are looking for a different summer camp experience, we’re here for you.
Testimonials
What Trekkers & Parents Are Saying
“A unique way to learn to live away from home, cook, live on a budget, repair mechanical things, interact with new people, see the country... the ultimate college prep."
“My son came home feeling accomplished, self-confident, and made friends he hopes to keep in touch with”
“I went on the 1,000 Mile Trek from Chicago to NYC last summer and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences of my life. I met some of the most amazing people and learned so much about myself in the process."
