Though our sixth, and most successful, summer of mountain bike camp is becoming memory, we still find a few "fruity snacks" lingering in our packs. We'd like to share a few highlights with you and thank you for your continued support and interest before the summer's fruities are all gone!
Improving balance and gettin' rad on the teeter totter.
This summer, we: got 100+ local kids out in nature, exercising and away from screens; gave away 7 full weeks of camp to local schools and non-profits; partnered with YES; provided 10 full and partial scholarships to kids in need; ran our first girls only group; played games which strengthened campers' connections to others; increased campers' skills and coordination by biking on structures built by our leaders (teeter totters, bridges, etc.), and by playing games which enforce crossing the midline and brain/body integration; & trained, mentored and employed 10 local bike racers. It was an awesome undertaking, and we couldn't have done it without you!
Thank you all for another wonderful summer. We are honored to have been entrusted with your child/ren!
And, finally, remind your camper to stop at those stop signs on their way to and from school! :)
See you on the trails!
