Intro to Mountain Biking

Intro to MTB Camp is the perfect starting point for kids who are comfortable pedaling on two wheels and ready to venture off the pavement. Designed for ages 6 – 12, this camp teaches the fundamentals of safe and confident trail riding in a fun, welcoming environment.

With expert coaching, age-appropriate challenges, and plenty of encouragement, riders will build key mountain biking skills like body positioning, braking, shifting, and navigating natural terrain. We’ll also work on decision-making and trail etiquette—because learning to ride with respect and awareness is part of the Pedal Kids way.

Whether your child dreams of trail adventures or is simply looking for a new kind of riding experience, this camp lays the foundation for a lifelong love of mountain biking.
