Mountain Biking Camp – Lafayette

Mountain Biking Camp – Lafayette focuses on mountain biking and trail riding, with campers riding on rolling single and double track terrain and on narrow, winding trails. Campers practice specific biking skills such as bunny hops, track stands, braking, shifting, and basic bike commands while descending and ascending trail sections. The program also includes learning bicycle maintenance basics, safety checking bikes, solving gear problems, changing flat tires, learning to properly fit a helmet and bike, and learning good trail etiquette.

Each one-week session runs Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM, with extended care available from 8 AM to 5:30 PM. Campers are grouped by grade range, either 2nd–4th graders or 5th–7th graders. Campers are strongly encouraged to use their own tuned bikes that fit well and are appropriate for dirt trails, including hand brakes, gears, and wider tires, and bike rental is available for those who need it. In order to register, campers must be able to bike confidently without training wheels on a dirt surface, and campers who do not meet this minimum skill requirement may be moved to a different program if space is available or removed from the group and offered a credit.
