Radical Rippers
Junior Summer Camps
Fun, safe, progression on bikes while fostering friendships and growing our riding community of young riders
Built from our successful Radical Rippers after-school program (Spring and Fall), our summer camps are progressive and confidence-inspiring so that your rider leaves camp each day eager to tackle the next challenge (on and off the bike).
We also cater our Summer Camps to younger riders too! Unlike our after-school programs (that are for riders 10 and up), Summer Camps are open to riders ages 6-16.
What to expect from our camps:
Our camps are led by professional, certified instructors with a level of knowledge, skill, experience, and fun-loving that is unique to our program
Riders can anticipate fun guided rides and skills-coaching on the trails and features of Galbraith mountain plus some extra fun sessions using our custom progression props
Plenty of time on the bike
Fun off-the-bike games and activities so riders can learn and play in a variety of ways while continuing to build friendships, fitness, and imagination outdoors.
Riders can expect to work on some bike handling skills like; basic body positions, braking, bailing, pumping, jumping, wheel lifts, cornering, slow-speed technical riding skills, climbing, descending, trail building and maintenance (at some camps), bicycle mechanics and care (at some camps), and so much more
We pride ourselves in prioritizing fun safe spaces for ALL riders and therefore do not turn anyone away who is interested in joining and contributing to these safe, inclusive spaces for all humans, regardless of gender. However, this program has historically been designed to serve riders who self-identify as WTFN-B (women/girls, trans, femme, and non-binary) so it tends to attract mostly girls/femme-identifying riders.
We will split up into smaller groups based on age, interest, and skill level so our time together is maximized
