What are your kids doing this summer?
WORCA offers mountain bike camps through the summer months for youth ages 6 - 15. Our camps are not just about biking and developing solid bike skills - although that is a focus! We are about cultivating positive mountain bike experiences, fostering a love for adventure, recreating responsibly and creating a sense of community.
We have kept the price as low as possible to allow as many kids as possible to participate in the Dirt Camps. $395 per week for local residents.
What We Offer
-
PMBI Certified coaches focus on step by step skill development. Development will be appropriate to age and ability level, and trail selection appropriate to skill focus and fitness level.
-
Mountain biking comes with inherent risks and our coaches' decision-making process is always with safety as the priority. Coaches will encourage safe decision-making amongst the students, focussing on: how to set goals, assess risk, and manage emotions as an individual and as a group.
-
WORCA has deep roots in the local mountain biking community. Educating our students about recreation in nature with minimal impact and the efforts that go into the local trail network is important to us. We might even pick up a shovel and help the trail crew.
-
Mountain biking is meant to be fun! It’s one of those rare sports that can bring out the child-like excitement in all of us. We want to instill a passion for biking and outdoor recreation for many years to come.
-
WORCA programs are designed for a range of ability levels. Basic mountain biking skills are required as coaches will be taking riders ‘off-road’ and onto trail surfaces containing rocks, roots, loose gravel and dirt, and other obstacles. Your child should have experience using hand brakes and gears. If you are concerned whether or not your child is ready for one of our programs, please email your query to camps@worca.com.
Summertime is best spent on two wheels!
