Summer Mountain Bike Camp
Mountain Bike Camp | $599
Our summer mountain bike day camp is designed for kids who are already comfortable riding a bike and have experience riding on trails. This camp focuses on improving riding through skills sessions, riding games and trail riding time. Our experienced instructors will help your child develop new skills and build confidence on more challenging terrain to take their riding to the next level!
Campers will also get an introduction to downhill racing getting to experience track walks and race simulations. If your camper has a specific interest in racing we suggest signing up for one of the race weeks which has an option to include a Race Night Add-On program.
Race Night Add-On | $150
Take the stress out of race night and let our instructors worry about pre-riding, plate & chip pick up, getting to the start line and race strategy! Includes an entry to our Wednesday Night Race Series for your week of camp. If your child is interested in racing the full series we suggest registering for the full series in advance to guarantee a spot.
Lunch Program Add-On | $75
No time to pack lunches? No problem! Sign up for our lunch program. Campers in the lunch program will receive a morning and afternoon snack and lunch each day of camp.
