TNKR

Tuesday Night Kids Rides

The TNKR (pronounced “tinker”) program focuses on our youngest riders ages 3-16. Our goal is to provide them an environment that isn’t overwhelming and focused on basic skills and FUN! This format also allows the teen demographic to engage in leadership roles.

Everyone attending this program must have a HAMR membership and sign the HAMR waiver. This includes the teen and adult volunteers. Any volunteers 19 and up need to get a background check, or provide proof of one (through work, ACA, church, etc.). Events will be posted to HAMR Facebook to allow for a general number of attendees each week.

The 2024 season will start on June 4th occurring every week through July 30th. Tentative schedule to follow!
