A good day on the bike
Kids spend most of each session riding. A short coaching tip, a chance to try it, then back into the ride—with time to regroup, catch their breath and try again.
Loops and routes match the group’s ability, with time to settle in and practise familiar sections.
Braking before a turn, looking ahead and finding a balanced position: small changes they can practise on the next section.
Water and snack stops are built in. The 9:30 AM–3:30 PM camps also get a proper lunch break.
The people leading the ride
Our coaches are skilled mountain bikers who ride often, are trained in first aid and know how to teach skills at the right level for each rider. All coaches also complete criminal record checks.
With no more than five riders per coach, there’s time to notice hesitation, explain a skill and regroup. Riders can watch, walk or retry a feature as they build control.
We handle the teaching and feedback; you get to cheer them on. At pickup, ask how the ride went. Their end-of-camp recap explains what they practised and what to work on next, giving you a starting point for your next ride together.
Arrive ready
Riders must bring their own bike and helmet. We check both before the first ride. If either is unsafe, the rider won’t be able to ride until it is fixed or replaced.

Tell us what coaches need to know during registration. Riders should carry and be able to access their own prescribed medication. Contact us before booking if your child may need medication assistance or another specific support so we can confirm what can be safely provided.
Tell us during registration and we’ll do our best to place them together when they choose the same camp, trail group and schedule. Group safety and riding fit come first, so placement cannot be guaranteed.
Parents are welcome to help their rider get checked in and settled at drop-off. Once the group is ready to begin, coaches need to lead the riders without adults following the camp on trail.
