Squaw Hosts Kids Adventure Games June 28

The 2014 Kids Adventure Games will take place at Palisades Tahoe on Saturday, June 28. Designed for children ages 6 to 14, the event will feature teams of two competing in mountain biking, hiking, zip lines, a Tarzan rope swing, giant Slope-n-Slide, cargo nets, mud pits and more.

"Palisades Tahoe is a perfect venue for the Kids Adventure Games, and we are proud to partner with them this summer," said Billy Mattison, Kids Adventure Games founder and race organizer. "They share our goal to provide kids the opportunity to learn, grow, thrive, be adventurous and most importantly, have fun."

Event Details:



  • The race will take place on Saturday, June 28 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The exact race course is kept a secret until race day. Kids will be given a map and must navigate their way through the course. Parents are encouraged to watch and cheer on their kids from the sidelines. The course is a parent-free zone.


  • To accommodate different racing abilities, younger or beginner racers will compete on a short course.  Older racers will compete on a longer course with more challenging obstacles.
  • Cost for the race is $120 per team of two through June 1. After that date, the cost increases to $150 until registration ends on June 14 or the race is full. Online registration is available on www.kidsadventuregames.com.


  • On June 27, the day before the race, kids can participate in clinics to prepare and hone their skills for race-day.  Clinics feature teamwork, race-day preparation, climbing and mountain biking. Clinics may sell out so early registration is encouraged. Cost for the clinics is $50 per child.


  • Participants must register as a team. Teams are encouraged to create a fun name and crazy uniform.  All participants will receive cool SWAG from the event sponsors.

Kids Adventure Race organizer and international adventure racer, Billy Mattison, says
the races emphasize teamwork, problem solving and fun. "The idea behind the race is to create an event that has all the fun things we dreamed about as kids," said Mattison. "By putting zip-lines, slip-n-slides, rope bridges, tubing, mud crawls and anything else we can dream up, the kids have a true adventure and an incredible time. We want the kids to cross the finish line pumped up with smiles on their faces and a feeling of accomplishment."
