Summer Mountain Bike Camps

2026 SUMMER CAMPS & CLINICS - REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

Our mountain bike skills camps and clinics are designed to be fun and engaging while building each rider’s confidence and ability to handle their bike in a variety of trail conditions. We begin by introducing core techniques in a controlled environment, using fun games and progressive skill challenges that reinforce learning and develop risk awareness.

Riders advance at their own pace as they develop both fundamental and advanced mountain biking skills—enhancing their ability to navigate obstacles, maintain control, and stay safe on the trails. All instruction is led by our experienced, PMBIA-certified coaches, ensuring every camper receives top-tier guidance and support.

ALL CAMPS ARE TAUGHT BY PMBIA TRAINED INSTRUCTORS, THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR SKI HUT!
