Class Day
Class Sign-In is at 8:15 a.m. and we should be done around 1 or 2. Rapids Riders ATV Club will provide a lunch for all participants. Our classes are provided free of charge with the help of our sponsors. Please show them your appreciation.
Rapids Riders members do supply a couple ATV's but they are all bigger machines and your children should fit a machine to take the driving portion of the test. So if your child is smaller in stature and they are more comfortable on your machine we would suggest you bring it. ALL the appropriate riding gear is needed as well to take the driving test (helmet, gloves, over the ankle boots, goggles or glasses, long pants and long sleeved shirt).
The conservation officer does like to have the parents stay for the first hour or so.
