What Hosts Should Expect
Hosting a successful iCan Bike program involves a good deal of effort, however, the feedback and gratitude you will receive from riders, families and volunteers will make it worth all your hard work. Being an iCan Bike host may be the toughest job you’ve ever loved!
iCan Bike Camp Hosts are responsible for:
-
- Securing a local suitable facility, preferably climate-controlled, with a minimum indoor riding area of 6,800 square feet in which to conduct our bike program Monday through Friday during normal business hours
- Securing use of an equivalently sized nearby outdoor riding area, relatively flat and free of hazardous obstacles, for the days of Wednesday through Friday only
- Allowing access to and use of the facility for two hours on the Sunday afternoon/evening before camp (equipment set-up and parent and volunteer orientation)
- Paying a fixed program fee of $9,950 to iCan Shine for between 4 and 8 riders during each of the five daily 75-minute sessions totaling between 20 and 40 riders ($9,700 if deposit received by November 1st)
- Providing lodging for two iCan Bike staff for the week (2 hotel rooms for 7 nights)
- Establishing a rider registration fee to charge and collect from families (principally used to fund the above mentioned program fee – rider registration fees generally range from $150 to $250 per rider)
- Recruiting and registering local riders and volunteer spotters (2 spotters per rider)
- Planning and administering the daily check-in process, providing name-tags, t-shirts and recognition awards to riders and volunteers
