Empowering Outdoor Adventures
What Your Donation Supports
Vests
Our vests aren't just fabric but canvases for connection and community. Adorned with our logo, they serve as badges of honour when completing our mission. Each week, over a dozen dedicated adult volunteers wear these vests, signalling to our participants that they are in the hands of trusted leaders.
Leadership
Our team is our greatest asset, and since 2007 we have grown a base of volunteers that contribute weekly in all aspects of the program. However, over the years our needs have grown too and we have expanded our operation to include a full-time executive director to supervise and ensure we are ready for every outing. Your support helps us invest in our team, provide training, and ensure we have the budget and resources so that every child we serve receives the guidance and support they need to thrive.
Equipment and Repairs
At our organization, we understand the importance of providing our youth with the best equipment to excel in their activities. That's why we supply top-quality bikes for biking and high-quality skates for skating. Safety is paramount, so we provide helmets and gloves for both activities. Additionally, we maintain our equipment to ensure it is always in top condition so our participants can focus on the activity. We are committed to excellence and safety, and we never take shortcuts when it comes to the safety of our participants.
Training and Insurance
The safety of our kids comes first. We prioritize ongoing training and certifications to ensure our team has the latest knowledge and skills.
Our comprehensive insurance coverage backs us every step of the way, providing peace of mind for our volunteers, participants, and their families. With safety as our top priority, we're dedicated to providing a secure environment where kids can learn, grow, and thrive.

Meals
For our after-school programs, we know from experience, that if kids do not receive proper nourishment, that they will struggle to complete activities. This is why Trips for Kids is committed to ensuring that our participant s receive a healthy pre-ride snack, and we strive to provide litterless solutions and home-made goodies, prepare fresh by our volunteers. However, the reality that good food is not cheap, and providing food and snacks is a major cost to providing our program.
Our services are provided free of charge to all participants. We include all equipment and safety gear, training, and supervision, providing after-school programs and enriching experiences for those most at-risk in our community. Your support ensures we continue to reach those in need and that we have the capacity to serve them.
Services Free of Charge
These are a few of the costs and expenses we face as we deliver our programs. We thank you for your support!
