ADVANCED MOUNTAIN BIKING

 July 21^st – 25^th            Cost: 240 dollars       Ages: 10-14

This program is for campers who have taken Basic Mountain Biking and have demonstrated knowledge of the basic skills and an understanding and respect for Mountain Biking Safety and Care.  Only campers who have taken Basic Mountain Biking at Earth Connections may register.  If the instructor has any concerns based on the camper’s previous performance, he/she will contact the parents to discuss the concerns before accepting the registration. Daily bike trips may be longer and more challenging then our Basic camp.  More time will be spent on skills, and maneuvering techniques as well as more detailed lessons on bike maintenance and repair.  Campers will be expected to have some of their own basic repair equipment. (A letter will be sent with more details to those registered in June.)  In addition, students will participate in activities that promote earth awareness and conservation.  Bikes must be brought to camp and picked it up at the end of the week.
