Kids Camp Week 2 (8-12 yrs)
Mountain biking skills with a focus on fun!
Service Description
Gravity Theory Mountain Bike Camp is a three-day course focused on having fun on our bikes! Created for riders age 8-12, this program is designed to provide skills and progressions that will safely encourage participants to develop their mountain biking abilities. Spread out into various segments such as trail riding concepts, bike maneuvers and body positioning, this session will also cover trail etiquette and basic bike mechanics, while reinforcing a love of playing in the outdoors. We will utilize various methods of instruction to help make riding even more fun including games, races and some MTB team building. Campers should be prepared (and excited) for lots of time on their bikes as we enjoy the trails of Minturn. Participants should have some experience riding their bikes on both pavement and dirt, and should be able to use both brakes. Camper to instructor ratio is 5:1.
