Lake Tahoe & Reno Summer Camps
Trail Skills and Summer Riding in Reno & Tahoe
We designed our summer mountain bike camps to give kids real time on Reno and Tahoe’s trails, with coaching that builds confidence from the ground up. Our focus is simple: help young riders feel comfortable on their bikes, learn solid fundamentals, and enjoy riding enough that they want to keep coming back.
Fun-First Approach
Every day blends riding, games, and trail challenges to keep kids engaged while they learn essential mountain bike skills. Sessions are structured, but never rigid. The goal is to make learning feel natural, not forced.Step-by-Step Progress
Kids progress at their own pace, working through achievable challenges that build confidence ride by ride. Small wins add up quickly, helping riders feel capable and proud of what they can do on the trail.Safety First
Safety is built into every part of camp. We focus on good technique, regular equipment checks, and trail awareness so kids build habits that keep them riding confidently and responsibly.
