About
Mountain Biking Camp – Menlo Park focuses on mountain biking, including trail riding on rolling single and double track terrain, descending and ascending trail sections, and riding narrow and winding trails. Campers spend time learning mountain biking skills and bicycle maintenance basics, including bike maintenance, safety checking bikes, solving gear problems, and changing flat tires. They also learn to properly fit a helmet and bike, practice basic bike commands, and work on specific skills such as bunny hops, track stands, braking, and shifting.
• Ages: 7–12 years old
• Schedule: One-week sessions, Monday–Friday
• Price: One week price $840; Early Drop Off - Starting at 8 AM $40; After Care - Pick up 3:00-6 PM $115; Bike Rental $50; Avid4 Merch - Delivery at Camp Prices Vary (Tax Incl.)
Each session runs Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, with extended care available from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Campers are strongly encouraged to use their own bikes that are tuned, fit them well, and are appropriate for riding on dirt trails, including hand brakes, gears, and wider tires, and a rental bike option is available during registration. Campers must be able to bike confidently without training wheels on a dirt surface in order to register, and if a camper does not meet this minimum skill requirement, Avid4 Adventure may move the camper to a different program if space is available or remove the camper from the group and offer a credit.
Instructors are all 18 and older, described as insatiable outdoors experts with impeccable credentials and serious safety and skills training. The leadership team includes Founder David Secunda, who is a former president of the Outdoor Industry Association and a 25-year veteran of the outdoor education industry. Avid4 Adventure states that it believes in the transformative power of the outdoors and that at Avid4 Adventure kids build confidence, make new friends, and master essential skills in activities like paddling, biking, rock climbing, and hiking.
Avid4 Adventure notes that campers are grouped by grade range, with 2nd–4th graders or 5th–7th graders together, and that transportation is provided to and from recreation areas with access to top-of-the-line gear specifically sized for kids. The organization states that programs evolve as campers grow from age 3 to 17 and that it is the home of multi-sport adventure. Avid4 Adventure is accredited by the American Camp Association, named among Colorado Parent’s Top 5 Sports Camps, and is a Certified B Corp committed to public transparency and accountability.
The camp is backed by the Avid4 Adventure Guarantee, which includes a promise to provide an authentic outdoor adventure, incredibly well-trained and professional staff, and increased confidence, and if these promises are not met, the next Avid4 Adventure camp is free. Avid4 Adventure states that it teaches campers solid skills, including how to use sound judgment and problem-solving in all aspects of their lives, and that it does everything in its power to keep kids safe but does not “pack them up in bubble wrap,” instead having campers learn to take calculated, well-communicated risks. Avid4 Adventure operates under a Special Use authorization from the National Forest Service and is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
Parent testimonials describe Avid4 Adventure as a favorite camp where one child learned to ride a bike without training wheels and developed new interests in stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, and biking. Other parents report that their children were eager to share what they learned each day, describe the staff as mature, responsible, and excited to share their passion with kids, and note that their kids were active every day and continued talking about camp weeks later.
