What’s in motion stays in motion and summer is in full swing! Hop on your bike and get in gear as we take the scenic route in Saugatuck and Douglas and explore all the lakeshore community has to offer. Join Velo Kids in the morning for trips and tours from 9:00 am 12:00 pm, and keep it moving as you spend the afternoons with SCA creating artwork that’s inspired by your travels from 12:00 – 4:00 pm.

In the morning with Velo Kids, you’ll pedal to explore local bike paths and discover places like Wick’s Park, Village Square Park, Mount Baldhead Park, Douglas Beach and more! Learn how to bike safely and bike smart around town and develop bike repair and maintenance skills. Learn and practice stewardship for our trails, parks and our community while you meet new friends, get active, and have fun in the great outdoors! 

When you return to the SCA, you’ll spend the afternoons creating art inspired by movement and motion! Make music with Music Therapist Jeremy Verwys and create collaborative songs and sounds as you move to the beat. Create kinetic sculpture from recycled materials with artist Taylor Scamehorn, and groove as you create dance-inspired paintings with dancer Heather Winia of Heather Grooves. You’ll create art inspired by your bike and decorate it to pedal away in style!
