| I saw on a blog that there is a Pedalheads camp in Capitol Hill this summer, but the location is TBD. Does anyone have any experience with it? Where has it been held in previous years? |

| I noticed that too. I just emailed them to find out if they've determined the location. I'm also curious if this is the first year Pedalheads is operating in DC...haven't seen much by way of reviews in DC. |

They are new. The only reviews you are going to get are from the West Coast... |

| I sure hope they're not going to take a whole bunch of 4 year olds biking on the streets on Capitol Hill? Not too safe. |

| I asked them and they weren’t going to do the trail riding course in DC - just the Levels 1-3 for learning to ride a bike, but seems like Level 3 is for kids who already know but want to learn to ride better and on the street. I’m really interested and think they should do it at RFK/Kingman island. Hope it works out. I think my son would like it better than soccer. |

| Has anyone sent their kids? Looks like it's running, and they are the ONE camp with space for August 23-30, but the location sucks. I would love any feedback. |

| A friend of mine sent her child and was underwhelmed. The instructor was a high school kid who was really lax and did hardly any instruction - he just kind of let the kids do their thing and there was a lot of sitting around because it was so hot (pro tip -- do a morning session rather than afternoon!). My friend says her kid didn't get a whole lot of benefit from it, and that when she emailed midweek to let Pedalheads know that there wasn't a whole lot happening in the camp, she never got a reply. |

She enjoys the job. Probably not that helpful but... |

| They just canceled their Capitol Hill location. We had signed up for the last week of August. UGH. |

| Don't know, but I've heard good things about the WABA camp. Beware, when you Google WABA camp, ads come up for pedalheads. I stumbled on them that way when looking up WABA. |
