Buck Hill is excited to announce the addition of MTB Day Camps and Clinics to this summer’s programing. We are working with Adam Buck and Trail Source, to create five skill specific teaching areas for mountain biking. We will have IMBA and PMBI certified coaches at each of these classes. For information regarding dates and times click on the Program Name, or call Heidi Jo Karlsson 952-435-7174 ext.607
Mountain bike camps are designed with an emphasis on achieving safe, injury-free riding through the establishment and continuous refinement of core skills. We start with basic skills and techniques and build on mastering these in order for the children to be safe and enjoy the rides. We teach skill development using fun games, sequential skill mastery and developing the children ’ s risk and hazard perception off road. This is achieved through the development of fundamental and advanced skills which improve the rider’s capacity to overcome trail difficulties and avoid injury. Kids must be strong, able to ride on pavement and dirt, and be comfortable riding 5+ miles! Each camp features special Guest Speakers from our local bike shops as well as Guest Instructors.
Taught by women, for women, this encouraging camp is divided into two skills levels; beginner and intermediate. It is designed for riders who need guidance in building confidence and skills. This group is perfect for the first time rider who has never ridden on dirt trail or someone who has maybe only ridden on dirt a few times. Whether you are physically fit (or looking to get there!), adventurous and want to learn more about mountain biking.
