What your participant needs:

They will need their own bike with front suspension, two working brakes and a fully functioning drivetrain along with a well-fitting, good quality helmet. Although optional, we strongly recommend knee and elbow pads as even a minor injury to these areas can take them off the bike for a day or two.

Fitness Expectations:

These programs are not aimed at getting your child fit enough to ride a bike, although a by-product of the week is a growth in fitness. Participants should be of a reasonable fitness level to undertake a week of physical activity and mentally prepared to push themselves physically.

Skills expectations:

Beginner: Have basic experience with mountain biking or road cycling, Must be able to ride standing up while rolling and pedaling. Expect to learn the fundamental skills of bike control while beginning to apply them to the trail and bike skills parks.

Intermediate: Already a confident rider, able to ride single track trails up to a blue level and approaching easier black trails. Expect to take your fundamental skills to a higher level while beginning to tackle high speed cornering and getting your wheels further off the ground small drops and jumps.

Advanced: Confident riding black trails at speed and approaching or already riding double black trails. Expect coaching in high speed cornering, jumps and drops. Steep and difficult terrain will be tackled on advanced camps.
