Pop-Up: Mountain Bike Camp

Details:

Ready to get back on the bike? This Pop-Up is for returning riders looking to build confidence, sharpen skills, and have fun on the trails. We’ll practice body position, balance, braking, shifting, cadence, cornering, and trail scanning through skills drills, demos, and coached practice, then apply those skills on the trails. Join us for a full day of riding and adventure! Date: Wednesday, November 11th Time: 9:00AM-3:00PM Where: Weeks/Moodys Trails, Gorham Best For: Grades 4-6** Maximum Group Size: 10 ** This pop-up camp is designed for kids who have previously attended a mountain bike program with us and have demonstrated strong fundamental skills. If you believe your child has equivalent experience, please get in touch prior to registering. All of our mountain bike programs are held in small groups to make sure that everyone is met where they are skill-wise and given plenty of one-on-one instruction to build their confidence on two wheels. All of our programs take place outdoors, giving kids plenty of time to move, explore, play, and connect with the natural world. By staying outside for the full day, we minimize time spent in vehicles and maximize time immersed in the places we visit. Each program is shaped by the season and location. Small group sizes allow our educators to get to know each child and adapt the day to individual needs, group energy, weather, and changing conditions. Building confidence, independence, curiosity, and connection is at the heart of what we do. We believe that experiencing the outdoors in a variety of weather helps kids become more capable and comfortable outside, so we venture out rain or shine whenever conditions are safe. Families will receive more detailed information and a packing list approximately one week before the program. We work with caregivers to help ensure each child arrives prepared with appropriate clothing, footwear, food, and gear for a full day outdoors. The nature of an outdoor program means that some circumstances are outside of our control. We carefully monitor weather forecasts and make real-time decisions based on current conditions, location, and risk assessment. In the event of severe or unsafe weather, a program may be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance and refunds will be issued. There is no rain make-up date.
