All riders start with skills games to help dirt camp staff assess each riders abilities and limitations for safety and group level. Through the week, riders develop skills and improve quickly through constant controlled environment.
Biking sessions are interrupted for water park, meals, mechanic sessions and camp fires.
Excursions have vehicle support, instructors are certified and safety comes before everything.
Dirt camp is a modern take on a classic idea. No phones or tablets allowed.
ZERO to HERO
Beginner riders can anticipate a smooth progression from flat terrain, into basic trails and then into bike handling. Beginners tend to progress quickly within the first few days and can move up to stronger groups when ready.
GETTING GOOD
Intermediate riders will start with a refresher course on flat terrain and eventually small jumps, steeper terrain and generally more challenging riding. Intermediate riders are also welcome to move up during their sessions provided they are ready.
Tiny pro
Advanced riders will cover the basics as well but again move to jumping, cornering and steeper riding. Advanced riders will be given more opportunity to challenge themselves and their bikes.
