Dirt Camp

This class is designed for riders identifying within Levels 1 to 2.

Spend 5 action-packed days of fun in the woods on your mountain bike!

Whether you’re new to riding on dirt or are hoping to gain confidence and skills in the air, over roots, or around berms, this camp is for you! Join others who also can’t wait to spend all day on the bike. Each day starts off with skill builders and games and ends with trail rides, maximizing time on the bike! Friday will also include basic bike mechanics and giving back to our trails through maintenance and repair. Groups will be split by age and ability.

Participants must be 7-11 years old.

 

Class Focus:

  • The Basics: gearing up, braking, shifting, and body position
  • Balance: bridges, skinnies, and bike games
  • Uphill and Downhill: safer and faster
  • Obstacles: logs, roots, and rocks
  • Drops and Jumps: small (<1 ft high)
  • Trail maintenance: Friday will be focused on giving back to the trails we love and learning the basics of trail building

 

Students are responsible for supplying their own bike and equipment for all Evergreen classes & camps.

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE based on financial need! Contact for more details.
