Dundalk Intermediate Summer Bike Camp

Our Summer Intermediate Bike Camp is an exciting and action-packed program designed for young riders who already have some experience with biking and want to further develop their cycling skills. The camp provides a supportive and fun environment where participants can build confidence, learn new techniques, and enjoy a variety of outdoor activities centered around biking. Swimming and Splash pad days will be on certain designated days which will be outlined in our Welcome Letter.

Skill Development: Campers will receive focused instruction on intermediate cycling skills, including improving their handling, navigating different terrain types (gravel, dirt, and paved paths), learning efficient gear shifting, and mastering bike control techniques such as cornering, braking, and balance. 

Safety and Bike Maintenance: Campers will learn the basics of bike safety, including proper helmet fitting and how to perform simple bike repairs. This includes adjusting brakes and fixing flat tires to ensure they are prepared for any situation on the road or trail. 

Trail Rides and Exploration: The camp includes guided trail rides through local parks, bike paths, and off-road trails. Campers will explore scenic areas, develop endurance, and practice their skills in real-world environments, all while cultivating a love for outdoor cycling.

Team Challenges and Competitions: In addition to individual skill development, campers will participate in friendly challenges and team-based cycling games that foster teamwork, sportsmanship, and friendly competition.

Fun and Games: To keep the camp exciting, there will be bike-related games and obstacle courses designed to challenge participants in a fun and supportive atmosphere. Breaks for snacks, hydration, and socializing with new friends will also be included.

Supervision and Support:  Experienced coaches will guide campers throughout the camp, ensuring safety, providing personalized feedback, and keeping the group engaged and entertained. 

Confidence Building: Encouraging children to take on new challenges, tackle more complex riding situations, and boost their self-confidence on the bike.

Physical Fitness: Promoting an active lifestyle through daily rides and exercises that improve stamina, coordination, and strength. -

 

Friendship and Teamwork: Providing a social setting where kids can make new friends, collaborate on group tasks, and share their passion for cycling.

By the end of the week, campers will have enhanced their cycling abilities, learned valuable bike maintenance skills, and gained a deeper appreciation for mountain biking.

IMPORTANT -Please note that some of our camps are dependent on weather conditions. If we need to cancel a camp day due to inclement weather, such as heavy rain, strong winds, or thunderstorms that make the trails unsafe for riders, you will be notified by 7:30 AM that morning. If a cancellation occurs, a credit will be issued, which can be used for any camps or programs throughout the year and will not expire.
