Level 4 (Advanced) Mountain Bike Camp

The format of this week of camp is based on the ability of older kids to ride all day at various locations throughout Colorado Springs. Kids should have shown proficient skills at levels 2/3 or be comfortable riding Blue and Black Diamond rated trails. Riding time is extended (~80 miles covered during the week), technical riding skills are practiced throughout a ride, and coaches help kids to identify various line choices, handling bikes with more control. Kids also learn more bicycle maintenance, with a focus on trail-side repairs.

In order to ride a variety of terrain throughout the week, the Level 4 camp rides at a different park each day.  In 2024, we expect to meet at the following locations:
