Program accomplishments

  • Apex Bike Programs is the umbrella term for all of Apex's cycling and biking initiatives, including Earn a Bike, Open Shop, the Apex Pre-Apprenticeship Program, Bike Bus, Summer Rides, and Mountain Bike Rides. These are among our most impactful offerings, allowing us to distribute hundreds of low- or no-cost bicycles to youth annually. Through these programs, young people gain access to positive mentorship, learn hands-on mechanical skills, develop community navigation abilities, and cultivate a lifelong appreciation for physical activity and nature. On average, these programs serve over 200 youth each year.

Open to middle school students at both Biddeford Middle School and Saco Middle School, each site has a dedicated space within the school and can accommodate up to 25 youth. The program was developed in response to a clear need for accessible, affordable aftercare options for local families. Participants are cared for from school dismissal until 5:00 PM, with transportation home provided afterward.
  • Apex Summer Camp is a low-cost, high-impact summer program offering 15 spots each year for youth 5th grade and up. Running four days a week for eight weeks, the camp features a wide variety of enriching experiences, including educational classes, field trips, group activities, hiking, and sports. With a base cost of just $25 per week, the camp is intentionally designed to be accessible to families of all income levels. Apex uses the lowest-barrier financial aid approach possibleany participant who cannot afford part or all of the fee can simply speak with a staff member, and the cost will be waived, no questions asked. The program has reached full enrollment every year it's been offered, and with increased funding, we hope to expand capacity to serve even more youth.
