Kid's Mountain Bike Camps
Starting in summer 2021 and moving forward, Mountain Bike the Tetons will be taking over the summer mountain bike programming formerly provided by TVSEF. Please check out their website for more information.
When ski season ends, it’s time to shred Teton Brown Pow! Due to popular demand, TVSEF is offering 5 sessions of Mountain Bike Camp for kids for 2020 in June, July, and August. We’ll learn and practice skills in the mornings and shred the Valley’s awesome trails in the afternoon with a new ride each day. Parents will need to provide transportation to and from trailheads for the 2020 season. Camps sell out every year so please register ASAP.

Participants should have a mountain bike in good working order and experience riding off pavement. Bikes must have hand brakes, multiple gears, and shifting that operates smoothly and effectively.

FAQ'sQ: Do I need to sign my child up for the whole camp?
A: Yes, each week is designed as a progression from Monday through Thursday. We will repeat content the following week so there is little reason to participate an additional week. Q: Can I sign up for multiple camps? A: Absolutely! Q: Does my bike have to have suspension? A: Not required. Though a front shock is very helpful, it is not required. This is a Cross-Country camp, so full suspension bikes are not required. The lighter the bike, the better! Q: What type of riding is this camp geared toward? A: Cross-country, mountain biking. Participants should have a bike designed for mountain biking with functioning shifting and braking. Q: When does registration open? A: March 1. Once full, we will start a wait list. |
