SMBA Summer Camps

 

Our summer camps offer 4-day mountain bike adventures which explore open space trails in south and north Boulder. The camps are designed for beginner mountain bikers who want to learn how to ride comfortably on singletrack trails, or those who want to continue to practice the basic bike handling skills they have learned in previous camps.

 

We offer three different summer camp programs: Junior Riders (1st – 4th grade, co-ed); Cycling Sisters (2nd-5th grade, girls); and Explorers (5th – 7th grade, co-ed).

 

During each day of camp, coaches foster teamwork and camaraderie; and work with athletes to practice proper technique for navigating technical sections of trail, proper trail etiquette on multi-use trails, and basic trail side bike repairs. Through lots of trail time, fun rides, and an encouraging, non-competitive environment, athletes build confidence and endurance on their bikes, make new friends, and practice their mountain bike skills on City of Boulder and County Open Space trails. 

 

SMBA summer camp rides spend approximately 6 – 6 1/2 hours on the trail and ride at a different trail location each day.  Camp ride locations include Marshall Mesa, Doudy Draw, Heil Ranch, Betasso, Valmont Bike Park, and Boulder Creek Path (between trail locations).

Summer camps are a great introduction to SMBA and the exhilarating sport of mountain biking! We recommend athletes participate in a summer camp or two before they sign up for SMBA Team programs.
