Description & Pricing
Our downhill mountain bike camps are day-camps available in three and five-day sessions. Youth camps are open to ages 7-17 years old of all ability levels from first time mountain bikers to seasoned rippers. Based out of Snowshed lodge, all camps run from 9:00 a.m. - 3:45 p.m. daily with lunch included.
As much as these camps are about leveling up your child’s skills on the trail, it is so much more than that. Campers build confidence in themselves, learn life skills and grow as an individual all while having the time of their lives.
Find specific details on what you'll need for camp and what to expect here. (Registration link within this link is not ready).

Details
Camp Registration Form
All participants will receive an email post-purchase to complete a camp registration form which is also available here to send to guests as needed. Form Here.
DeleteRequired Safety Gear & Checklist
Participants must wear a full-face helmet with eye protection (goggles or glasses), gloves, elbow pads, and kneepads. If you are renting, you will need to provide your own gloves and eye protection; everything else comes with your rental purchase.
DeleteFirst Day Check-In & Daily Schedule
Each day begins with check in at Snowshed at 8:45am followed by a warm up and skills training at 9am. Then the group rides together for the rest of the morning, breaks for lunch and rides again for the afternoon, until pick up time.
Lunch is Included
A midday meal is included with camp. Please notify us prior to camp check-in if your child has any dietary restrictions. We can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, nut-free and gluten-free options, but please be aware that all our foods are made in a common kitchen, and cross-contamination is possible. We encourage families to bring their own meals if they have specific dietary restrictions or needs outside of vegetarian requests.
DeleteGroup Size/Friends/Ability Levels
Groups are formed by current skill level, goals for the week, and age. We do our best to accommodate campers riding with their friends, but we prioritize skill development and the level of challenge in a group. If two friends want to ride together, they will need to ride in the group with the lower-level rider.
Self Release Policy (not ready yet)
A parent doesn't need to be at pickup
Many bike campers are old enough and families feel comfortable allowing them to self-release at the end of the day. This means no adult needs be present at the end of the day for the camper to leave camp. Only campers 12 years old and older are eligible for self-release. All campers must spend the entire day with their camp groups and may not leave early. After 4:00 p.m., they are allowed to dismiss themselves from camp. If you would like to allow your child to self-release, please complete the self-release policy agreement. If you have any questions, please email us or ask someone at camp check-in.
DeleteStorage of Gear
We have space to store personal and rental bikes in a separate camp storage spot. This area is locked daily at 4:30, so if you plan to ride after camp and wish to store your bike in the camp shop, you will need to be in by 4:30. There will also be space to leave helmets, pads, etc.
How to Book

DeleteFAQ
I have a seasonal rental, can I reserve my bike rental for camp?
Yes! We have changed our policy so those who have previously purchased the VT Youth Seasonal Bike Rental may pre-register a rental for camp to ensure they will get a bike. We will communicate this with the guests so they can alert us if they need to use their seasonal rental for camp.
How to Sell:
You must sell the bike camp rental product when pre-registering for camp so we have accurate bike inventory for the week. To do so, sell the bike camp rental for the appropriate amount of days, go to discounts and select the guest service open discount and discount it 100%. When asked for the discount reason please note it is for the seasonal rental.
DeleteBooking early season pricing after the fact...
This year we will not be honoring the early season rate for any camp related product when booked or changed after the early-rate deadline. There are no exceptions to this for any product (lift, rental, lesson).
