Highland Kids Camp – Saturdays 9am-Noon
Our Saturday Kids Camp offers skill-building and camaraderie for riders as young as six and as old as fourteen. Covering topics such as bike setup, body positioning, cornering, and jumps and drops, Kids Camp has something for everyone. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced riders will dial in their skills while making new friends and forming lifelong memories.
Each fun-filled session builds core skills in dedicated learning areas, pump tracks, berms, and on lift-accessed trails. Attention to safety and rider etiquette is always paramount.
Prerequisites: Beginner riders must be comfortable riding a two-wheel bike without training wheels and be able to use hand brakes with confidence. Full-face helmet, gloves, knee, and elbow pads are required. Bikes must have front and rear hand brakes (disc brakes are strongly recommended). Full suspension bikes are recommended but hardtails are acceptable. Rental bikes and equipment are available upon reservation.
