Join us for a challenging and fun 2-day camp on some of the best trails in Chapel Hill!
Our 2-day camp gives you a chance to build up and clean up your ‘toolbox’ of mountain bike skills; from the fundamentals to mastering wheels lifts, high-speed cornering, drops, riding technical features and so much more! Join us for a full weekend of skills that will equip you to better handle a variety of terrain with speed and efficiency.
We will blend an in-depth version of our traditional Intermediate / Advanced skills training with coached riding sessions.

You can think of our camps as an awesome opportunity for what we like to call a “traincation”—a fun-filled vacation in which you get to spend most of your time doing what you like to do most— riding your bike!
