2026 Ottawa-Gatineau Kids & Youth Programs

OBC - MBK - Centre Vorlage - Bakker's Trailblazers - Velo Denis Menard - Skinouk - Velo MSM - Ride Ottawa

Every season parents contact us looking for information about kid’s programming and what we offer. Ride Ottawa is focussed 100% on skills instruction and we offer kids group lessons, private kids and family lessons, and each year we do separate parents+kids drop and jump clinic (super fun with special pricing). If you have young rippers that are ready to take their skills a bit more seriously, or you’d like to put a group of 3 to 6 similar kids together, reach out and we can arrange it. We set course dates based on expressed interest.
