La Mesa ~ Summer Camp

Join us for an action-packed week of mountain biking at our Summer Camp Program!

La Mesa ~ Monday, 7/20 – Friday, 7/24

This Monday-to-Friday adventure is perfect for kids eager to learn fundamental bike handling skills and hit the trails with confidence. Along with biking, we’ve packed the week with exciting games and activities to keep your rider engaged and having a blast!

Throughout the week, campers will learn essential bike skills, including trail safety, proper bike and body positioning, braking, gear shifting, turning, cornering, climbing, and descending. Our expert instructors will lead fun and interactive drills to help reinforce these skills. To top it off, we’ll head out on trail rides to explore nearby trail networks, giving riders a chance to put their new skills to practice in a safe, supervised setting. Fun off bike activities, based on camp location include ranger meet and greets, ice cream rides, water balloons, domesticated animal interactions, beach visits and more!

The program is open to kids aged 7 and up who can comfortably ride a geared mountain bike with a 20″ or larger wheel size.

To ensure a great experience, your rider will need:

  • A recently serviced mountain bike with a 20″ or larger wheel size and working gears. Rental bikes available at registration.
