Nelson Int. Rippers (8-12) - Summer Camp

Our 4-day camp is designed for intermediate bikers aged 8 -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/GSMBC certified coaches will guide them through a comprehensive program.

Just some of these skills include:

• Shifting: We'll teach them how to shift gears effectively to maintain a consistent speed on various terrains.

• Braking: They'll learn how to control their speed and navigate tricky sections with confidence.

• Stability & Balance: Movement is key, and we'll dial it in for smoother, safer rides.

• Line Choice: We'll hit the local green and 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 encourage fun safe progression. 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 trails.

If your child is already comfortable on green trails and has tried blue single tracks, this 4-day camp is the perfect next step in their mountain biking journey. So, if you're looking for a program that will truly elevate your child's skills and confidence, this is it!
