Dirt Crew Bike Camp
Full-day mountain bike camp for riders ages 6–12.
Younger riders (ages 6–9) follow a coach-led structured, skill-focused program that blends short, confidence-building ride sessions with games, drills, and hands-on mountain exploration. Designed specifically for developing riders, this group builds strong foundational skills like body position, braking control, balance, and cornering, while gradually introducing small features and varied terrain in a fun, supportive environment.
Older riders (ages 10–12) spend more time in the saddle, progressing to more technical terrain that may include roots, rocks, rock faces, and ladder bridges. Coaches guide riders through a thoughtful trail progression, helping them refine cornering for better flow, improve line choice, and build endurance and trail awareness. New features are introduced step-by-step, with demonstrations and coaching that allow each rider to develop skills gradually and safely.
From first berms to technical trail features, The Dirt Crew meets kids where they are, helping them ride smoother, stronger, and with more confidence every day.
As an added bonus, there’s no need to drive to the mountain, we’ve got you covered with shuttle services and convenient stops at the Driggs Transportation Center and the Alta Elementary School.
