Mountain Biking Camp
The Bement Mountain Bike Camp is offered as both a day and residential program for campers entering grades 3-9. It is a week long mountain bike program focused on the disciplines of Downhill and Enduro riding. Our host venue is Thunder Mountain Bike Park, one of the premier gravity riding destinations in the country. Built by Gravity Logic - world renown bike park builders - Thunder has trails for mountain bikers of all abilities.
Home base for camp is The Bement School. Residential campers will be hosted at our family-style dormitories located on the north end of our school campus. All campers will travel a short distance each day to the mountain. Trained staff will teach participants the fundamentals of downhill mountain biking, such as body positioning, braking, cornering and pumping. Five days of instruction and riding allows for significant growth and progression. Upper level groups will learn to hit drops, jumps and navigate technical terrain. Beginners will progress through step by step building blocks, where they gain confidence through repetition and tons of riding. Join us for a week of FUN!
