Day Camp: Golden Wheat Ridge Mountain Biking Day Camp

This fun and safety-focused Mountain Biking Camp offers kids the opportunity to ride different trails and areas in and around the Golden/Wheat Ridge area. Throughout the week, participants develop skills through increasingly challenging activities, exercises, and trails while developing team building and individual leadership skills with their peers. In our Avid4 Adventure Mountain Biking Camp, kids also learn basic bike maintenance skills like changing flats and solving gear problems.

We strongly encourage participants to use their own bicycles during this program to allow for greatest transfer of skill development, however we can provide helmets and mountain bikes if needed. Please make sure your child is comfortable riding on 2-wheels in dirt before registering.
