Program Information
Based at Nunyara Conference Centre in Belair, this exciting camp takes kids aged 10 to 14 on an epic three day Mountain Biking adventure. Participants will be split into groups based on age, experience and ability and will learn to ride safer, faster and with more control.
Our accredited coaches will teach them skills such as body position, conquering obstacles, cornering and wheel lifts on both cross country and gravity based trails. After nailing skills and techniques, riders will get the opportunity to put them into practice while doing shuttle runs at Fox Creek Bike Park- where they get driven up the hills and just ride down! While on the program, riders will also be introduced to bike set up, some basic maintenance, participate in interactive goal setting sessions and play lots of team building games!
