Cycling Nova Scotia is psyched to team up with Cycling Canada to provide HopOn skills camps in Nova Scotia!
Partnered Delivery through Schools
Compact HopOn programming can be provided in school by Cycling Nova Scotia’s HopOn trained staff.
HopOn sessions are great for developing basic cycling skills of students in grades 3-6 and can be delivered in a variety of formats.
Partnered Delivery through Community
Community level HopOn programming can be provided to interested Affiliated or Associated Cycling Clubs in Nova Scotia and to Municipal Active Living programs by Cycling Nova Scotia’s HopOn trained staff.
Community Level programming is tailored to young athletes between 6-14 years of age. Programming may introduce beginner cycling skills or focus on the development of intermediate cycling skills depending on the age and experience of participating.
Direct Delivery
Community members can be trained as HopOn instructors as a volunteer or staff member to deliver programs at their discretion throughout the year.
See below for more details about becoming a HopOn instructor!
If your school, club, or community is interested in facilitated HopOn programming please contact Jess Spooner at [email protected]!
