Grom Camp has your children covered for week-long programs all summer long. From beginner Bike Park riders through advanced groms, we have crafted a 5-day program to help your child take their riding to the next level. Our approach to Grom Camp is simple – Stay Safe, Have Fun, and SHRED!
Daily flow will include warm up time, coaching, lunch with team, and freeride/re-ride time. Based on inclement weather and/or needed down time for the Groms, we may also incorporate time out of the saddle to keep the stoke high and the legs fresh. Examples of off-bike time are SUPing, Capture the Flag, and Bike Maintenance Clinics.
Minimum Requirement: Bicycles must have 20” diameter wheels or larger, front and rear suspension, knobby tires, front and rear handbrakes, and protective equipment including full-face helmet, knee pads, sunglasses or goggles, and gloves. A spare tube is recommended in case of a flat tire.
