Level 5 Mountain Bike Camp *prior approval required*

This is the camp where older kids hone strong mountain biking skills, stamina, and technique in order to graduate onto a mountain bike team, maybe try racing, and otherwise explore more fun riding on a bicycle- no matter how it looks.

The format of this camp is based on the ability of older kids to ride all day at various locations throughout Colorado Springs. Riding time is extended, technical riding skills are practiced throughout a ride, coaches help kids to identify various line choices, and learn how to handle bikes with more control. Kids also learn more trail-side bicycle maintenance- particularly fixing a bike on the trail. The mileage is high for each day, sometimes up to 20 miles.
