Cutaway Youth Mountain Bike Travel Camp (7 Days – Ages 8-12)

Are you a youth mountain biker between the ages of 8 and 12 who has already attended the Youth Devo Weekend Camps and are ready for the next step? Are you an experienced rider but aren’t sure you’re ready for the overnight Mountain Bike Camp filled with all-day epic rides? Answer “yes” to either of those, and this camp is for you!

Often referred to by counselors as a mountain bike “lifestyle” camp, the Mountain Bike Travel Camp takes advantage of everything that makes fat-tire riding great in the state of Virginia. Each day, campers will experience brand new trails with all-day epic rides. From the extended climbs and descents of the Blue Ridge Mountains, to the flow and technical nature of the Piedmont, there is no shortage of world-class riding.

Endurance and fitness come hand in hand with increased skills and confidence over the course of the 7 days. Every challenging climb is followed by an amazing descent, and you can’t wait to crest the next hill. Due to the challenging and technical nature of many of the trails we will be riding, all campers must be at an advanced level to attend.

Each location visited has unique qualities that make it a must-ride location. Douthat State Park features hour-long climbs and rewarding descents with breathtaking views. Preddy Creek offers unparalleled flow and expert loops that challenges the most experienced riders. Miller School of Albemarle is a student-built paradise with skills parks, engineered trail features, and miles of rolling singletrack.

The exact daily schedule will be finalized in the weeks before camp, but campers can expect to ride the following trail networks over the duration of the camp:

• Douthat State Park
• Stokesville
• Bryce Mountain Resort
• Miller School of Albemarle Campus Trails

Evenings are filled with informative seminars and fun group activities.
