Hit the trails this summer with our highly qualified and passionate coaches. Ready to take your young mountain bikers skills to the next level. We have camps for all abilities and our aim is to deliver a fun
filled session which builds confidence and ability riding off road.

Get on your bike this summer, join our mountain bike camps for children aged 6 to 15. The aim of our camps is for children and teenagers to learn in a safe and fun environment. Enjoy time outside and get to meet
new friends all whilst learning how to be a better mountain biker.

Mountain bike kids camps based from Queen Elizabeth Country Park, we offer fun filled coaching sessions for children 6+. Bookings open now.

Beginners Camps – on these mountain bike camps for beginners we look at the principles of riding a bike off road safely from body position, pedalling and gear selection. Our beginners camps tend to be for riders aged between 5 and 8 years old. However if you have an older rider who is not used to riding off road we would suggest starting here.

Intermediate Camps – these are perfect for riders aged 7 to 11 who are used to riding off road single track trails graded green and blue. On our intermediate mountain bike camp we shall build on their skills working with each young rider to improve their bike handling and confidence. Techniques they may learn could include front wheel lifts, manuals and track stands.

Advance Camps – For riders over 11 years old riding blue and red trails with confidence. On these camps we may include the fundamentals of jumping, race practise and drops. These camps are sometimes run from a private location near Frimley or from Queen Elizabeth Country Park.

All sessions are designed to be fun and challenge all abilities of cyclist. By keeping the groups small we will work with each young rider to help them achieve their full potential.

Adventure Rides – Come and explore the South Downs National Park with us, mountain bike adventures for the over 8’s. Rides will include basic map reading, plenty of rest and snack stops, mountain biking related games, basic map reading and trail skills as well as the chance to have a real outdoor adventure. Our 3-hour adventure rides are suitable for competent riders, able to use their gears effectively, over 8 years old, riding blue trail centres with confidence on both the ups and the downs.

Mountain Bike Holiday Camps for Kids

Holiday cycling camps in full swing

Every summer I run holiday camps for beginner and advanced young riders. These are a great opportunity for youngsters to get outside during their summer holidays and have fun on their bikes and learn some new skills.

Over the course of an hour and a half we move around the trail at Queen Elizabeth Country Park practising different techniques on different parts of the trail based on the group’s ability.

I usually run a beginner and advanced group so that I can tailor the activity to suit the group’s ability.

This week I have also ran a mixed ability group, the advantage of this was being able to use the more experienced riders to do demos not only did this mean the beginners got a visual representation but the more advanced riders got to talk through how they would approach a trail feature and demonstrate their skills which made them feel more confident in their ability.

Here are a few pictures of what we get up to on camps:
