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.

Mini Camp: 4-6 years old

Our camps are based in the Schoolhouse Building at the front of the resort.

  • Adventure Camp is on the top floor of the Schoolhouse. The entrance is directly across from the Farmhouse building, in front of the orange vintage groomer.

What is your policy on electronics and personal belongings?
At our adventure camp, we want your child to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the Mad River Valley. To encourage outdoor exploration and connection, we ask that all electronics be left at home.
Campers are welcome to bring personal toys, as long as they are willing to share them with others. If they prefer to keep them to themselves, we kindly ask that those items stay at home.
