The mission of Trips for Kids City of Lakes (TFK-COL) is to help young people
discover the joy of mountain biking. Trips for Kids City of Lakes is a non-profit
organization and a chapter of Trips for Kids National. Through Trips for Kids
programs, kids and teens from the Minneapolis area learn to mountain bike,
increase personal fitness, build a sense of teamwork and gain self-confidence.

Trips take place in Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis.

Trips for Kids City of Lakes is operated by the City of Lakes Nordic Ski
Foundation. The Foundation’s mission is to support and promote cross-country
skiing in Minneapolis, especially among inner city youth. Trips for Kids provides
a summer complement to the Foundation’s winter programming, helping to
provide youth with a year-round, healthy, outdoor lifestyle.
