When do you bike?
Biking takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If your child needs gear, we can provide it for an additional fee. Each session begins with a warm-up on our pump track, where we assess each camper’s biking level. After grouping campers based on their skills, we shuttle them to trails around the resort for focused skill-building.
Following lunch, campers have the option to join a longer trail ride through the stunning Mad River Valley. These trails feature some uphill biking but reward riders with new terrain and a thrilling ride down.
