Nowadays, most kids are content spending their summer lounging around an air conditioned house. But while Ryan Harrington’s friends spent their time inside, comfortably playing their video games and watching TV, the 14-year-old was busy tackling a 375-mile bike trip across New York State.

Harrington was one of 11 kids who took part in Sky High Adventure’s “Shape Camp” eight-day Erie Canal trip. The group, whose ages range from 6 to 16, traveled along the canal from Buffalo to Albany.
