Dirt Camp: Mountain Bike Week

At Dirt Camp®, we believe that mountain biking can be a healthy part of growing up. A Dirt Camp Junior Camp is an adventure in group dynamics, group living, incredible resorts, exciting trails, great views, and unforgettable friendships. We are as focused on the well-being of the group-socially and emotionally-as we are on riding. Our goal is to build strong people as well as strong mountain bikers. Our Dirt Camp Junior Camps take our extensive experience working with youth, and combines that with our well-established Mountain Biking Skills Curriculum, to provide the best youth mountain biking camp available. These camps are "all mountain riding", they are not "Downhill" camps, but the handling skills learned can be applied to all forms of riding: from cross country, to free-riding, to downhilling. We maintain a 1:5 guide to camper ratio, so that everyone gets plenty of personal attention. Safety is always our primary concern. All of our guides have extensive experience teaching mountain biking skills and have completed the Dirt Camp® Instructor Training program. They have Back Country first aid training and specific experience working with youth in a sports camp setting. As with all our Camps, each day we will split the group up according to the skill level and fitness of the riders, so that we are teaching and riding at everyone's comfort level. Evening and off bike activities range from swimming, to frisbee, to talks on topics such as: training techniques, bike maintenance, just hanging out talking about the days ride, or maybe catching a Mountain Biking video.
