This fun and safety-focused Mountain Biking After-School Program offers kids the opportunity to ride different Valmont Bike Park trails and terrain throughout the 6-day program (1 day per week). During the program participants develop skills through increasingly challenging activities, exercises, and differing terrain, including pump-tracks, single-track, dirt jumps, dual slalom, and slope-style, while developing team building and individual leadership skills with their peers. Independence and basic bike maintenance skills like changing flats and solving gear problems are also included.

We strongly encourage participants to use their own bicycles during this program to allow for greatest transfer of skill development, however, we can provide mountain bikes, helmets, and protective knee and elbow pads (required) if needed, for an additional fee. Please make sure your child is comfortable on dirt with two wheels before registering for this program. Terrain will include pump-tracks, single-track, dirt jumps, dual slalom, and slope-style.
