Open Trail Cycling offers several opportunities for youth to learn and develop mountain biking skills and fitness. 

• Homeschool MTB Club

  1. • Now enrolling for the Fall Semester. 

     • Our homeschool mtb club has ride groups that meet weekly on Monday or Friday mornings. Groups available for multiple ability and experience levels. 

• Summer Camps: June-July

  1. • *Just Added* July 13-16, 8:30am-12:00pm - Trail Ready Camp

       • Designed for riders who are not brand new to mountain biking but are still developing their skills. At least one season of riding experience is recommended. Riders will focus on refining braking, cornering, pumping, climbing, descending, line choice, and bike control while applying those skills on longer trail rides to build confidence, endurance, and efficiency.

     • July 20-23, 8:30am-12:00pm - Flow & Air Camp: Designed for strong intermediate riders, this camp builds on core mountain bike skills such as braking, cornering, pumping, climbing, descending, and line choice, while introducing riders to small trail features in a safe, controlled, and confidence-building environment. Riders will learn proper technique for tabletop jumps (1–2 bike lengths) and beginner drops, with a strong emphasis on progression, body position, and knowing when they are ready. This is a great opportunity for riders who are eager to get their wheels off the ground—and do it the right way. Riders in this group must be confident on trails and ready for long, steady climbs. As a gauge of readiness, they should be able to ride all the way up the gravel road from the skills park to the water tower without stopping or walking.
