Team Adventure

Team Adventure (made up of Project Adventure Kids teens, staff, and volunteers) formed in 2008 to introduce a new hobby to the youth at Project Adventure Kids. Many of the PAK teens have spent their entire lives in foster care and had not ever ridden a bicycle before. Growing up in the foster care system, you are always riding in group vans, so that made the thrill for the kids of riding a bicycle on the road that much more exciting! Since last year, Team Adventure and volunteers have been riding on monthly Pack Rides from their campus.

The cycling community can probably think of how a bicycle has changed their lives – whether it’s getting physically fit, finding a healthy way to unwind or seeing the world with renewed perspective.  For the teens at Project Adventure Kids, a new bicycle and the opportunity to ride in the Covington Century is one more tool to help them overcome the obstacles they face. One more way to build their confidence, to see that a world of possibilities exists for them with hard work. One more way to be part of a caring & generous community.

21st Annual Covington Century Bike Ride!
For the second year, Team Adventure will be featured cyclists at the beginning of the Covington Century. It has been a great fun for the kids to enjoy this new hobby! Volunteers and donors have helped the kids by donating their old bicycles, cycle clothes and gear to help the kids feel more professional!

Sponsor a Team Adventure teen at the Covington Century!
Sponsor a Team Adventure teen at the event for $1 a mile sponsorship. This is perfect for friends and spouses of the cyclists to get involved and help our kids by sponsoring a kid for $1 a mile. You will receive updated information, letters from the kid, and be able to cheer them on the day of the event. click here

Team Adventure rides the Velodrome!
Another thrill for Team Adventure has been to ride bicycles at the Dick Lane Velodrome located in East Point. Learning to ride a bike with no brakes, on a  36°  concrete slope track has been a great thrill for everyone! For more information on joining our kids at the Velodrome, click here
