Fun is the name of the game but improving skills, gaining knowledge, learning new training techniques and networking with your peers is what makes it one of the best summer camp options around.
Sweet rides everyday right from campus with guest riders the likes of Cole Paton, Savilia Blunk, Sarah Sturm, Riley Amos, Payson McElveen, Todd and Troy Wells, Ruthie Matthes, Ned Overend and other current/former national/world champions.
Work on skills on the on-campus bike park and attend presentations on nutrition, self-care, bike technology, training, bike maintenance from professionals in their fields. All this while exploring 300+ miles of legendary Durango trails.
Camp also includes a mid-week race with the community, group meals at the FLC campus cafeteria and bike games galore. These camps are for the High School cyclist looking to prepare and grow for next season and the years to come.
