NJ Bikeschool Program offered at Estell Manor Park

From the County Park Recreation Specialist:

I was hoping you might help me get the word out about the NJ Bikeschool program that we are offering for the first time at the Estell Manor Park. We thought it might be a great way for kids to gear up for spring, and so have scheduled it for Monday, April 25th. The program is for children in 4th to 6th grades. It runs from 10am - 3pm. Presented by Rutgers University and sponsored by the NJ Dept. of Transportation, participants will learn basic bike handling skills and traffic principles, including how to perform a bicycle safety check, fit a helmet, ride with control, and follow the rules of the road. Participants who own a helmet should bring it, or one will be given to them. Loaner bicycles, lunch and snacks will be provided.

Interested participants may pre-register by calling the registration office at Lake Lenape 625-8219, or calling me directly at 625-7000, ext. 5431. Registration on-site requires payment of the $5 fee, and completion of forms that must be signed by a parent or legal guardian. Participants may be dropped off provided that their registration is complete.

If we don't reach a minimum level of interest by April 20th, I'm afraid the program may have to be canceled. Any interest you can drum up for us would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much!
