About
Extended Day Mountain Biking Camp – Portland focuses on mountain biking and trail riding, with campers practicing skills such as bunny hops, track stands, braking, and shifting. Participants also learn bicycle maintenance basics, including how to properly fit a helmet and bike, safety check their bikes, solve gear problems, and change flat tires.
• Ages: 7–12 years old
• Schedule: One-week extended day sessions, Monday–Friday
• Price: One Week Price $795; After Care 3–6 PM $40; Bike Rental $115; Avid4 Merch – Delivery at Camp, prices vary (tax included)
Instructors are all 18 and older, described as insatiable outdoors experts with impeccable credentials and serious safety and skills training. The program is led by founder David Secunda, a former president of the Outdoor Industry Association and a 25-year veteran of the outdoor education industry. Avid4 Adventure states that it was born out of a desire to give kids a love of outdoor activity and to ensure the future caretaking of the planet. The organization is accredited by the American Camp Association, named among Colorado Parent’s Top 5 Sports Camps, and is a Certified B Corp. Extended Day Mountain Biking Camp begins one hour earlier than other Portland camp offerings, and the extra hour allows mountain bikers to access terrain that is normally off-limits to other camp groups. Campers are grouped by grade range into 2nd–4th graders or 5th–7th graders, and every activity starts with a discussion about the risks involved, how to prevent them, and how to respond if something goes wrong. The camp is backed by the Avid4 Adventure Guarantee, operates under a Special Use authorization from the National Forest Service, and is run by an Equal Opportunity Employer. Avid4 Adventure describes itself as the home of multi-sport adventure, with programs that evolve as campers grow from age 3 to 17, offering day camps and extended overnight options, transportation to and from recreation areas, access to top-of-the-line gear specifically sized for kids, and authentic experiences in beautiful recreation areas, with a focus on empowering kids of all ages from PreK–12. Campers in this program are strongly encouraged to use their own tuned bikes that fit well and are appropriate for dirt trails, including hand brakes and wider tires, and those who need a bike may rent one by selecting that option during registration; to register, campers must be able to bike confidently without training wheels on a dirt surface.
Parent testimonials describe Avid4 Adventure as a camp where one child learned to ride without training wheels and later called it her favorite camp, and where staff are described as mature, responsible, and excited to share their passion with children. Other parents report that their kids talk about the camp more than a month later and look forward to returning.
