Course Details
Our 3-day camp is designed for intermediate bikers aged 6 -12 who are keen to tackle more challenging trails. With the backing of Kootenay Mountain Biking's 15 years of coaching expertise, our experienced PMBIA-certified coaches will guide them through a comprehensive curriculum that goes way beyond the basics.
Here's what we'll cover:
Optimal Gear Usage: We'll teach them how to shift gears effectively to maintain a consistent speed on various terrains.
Precision Braking: They'll learn how to control their speed and navigate tricky sections with confidence.
Body Positioning: Proper form is key, and we'll dial it in for smoother, safer rides.
Strategic Line Selection: We'll hit the local blue trails and teach them how to pick the best lines for safety and speed.
The camp experience is a blend of on-trail coaching, skill-specific drills, and interactive games designed to make learning fun. By the end of the camp, your young rider will not only be more confident on bumpy, rooty sections but will also be ready to venture onto more challenging terrains.
If your child is already comfortable on green trails and has dabbled in blue single tracks, this 3-day camp is the perfect next step in their mountain biking journey. We're not just teaching them to ride; we're preparing them for a lifelong passion for mountain biking. So, if you're looking for a program that will truly elevate your child's skills and confidence, this is it. Sign up now and let your young rider get the most out of this summer!
