Student Hosteling Program (SHP) is the outstanding teenage bicycling program in the United States, offering bicycle touring trips and multisport outdoor travel adventures through the countrysides and cultural centers of the world.

SHP trips provide adventure, fun, outdoor education, and the opportunity for emotional growth while at the same time providing one of the safest and most wholesome youth environments available. Our groups are small, usually 8 to 12 trippers and 2-3 leaders, making possible a close and rewarding group experience.

SHP groups travel by bicycle, at their own pace and close to the land, using public and private transportation when necessary. Groups live simply, using campsites, hostels, and other modest facilities. In the countryside, groups buy food at local markets and cook their own meals. in cities, restaurants are often used.
