Mountain Bike Adventure Camp (Ages 7-12)

Important Bike Camp Information

Hello Sugarbush Downhill Bike Campers and parents!
We are excited for yet another great summer of Mountain Bike Camp. Sugarbush is offering four weeks of Mountain Bike Camp this season! This camp is designed for the young biking enthusiast who is eager to improve their skills and challenge themselves on our local trail networks, terrain parks and lift accessed downhill trails. Campers will explore local trails, lift accessed downhill trails and new networks in the green mountains all while developing and improving riding skills in a fun, welcoming learning environment. Be prepared for an exciting week full of biking adventure and other optional activities.

Below are the necessary gear and clothing needed for camp. Please pack a nut free lunch for your child. We strongly encourage your child to bring healthy snacks as well. The kids work hard and are often very hungry by the end of the day. Everybody should be prepared to spend a lot of time outdoors, rain or shine. Remember, smiles are highly encouraged, regardless of weather.
