Mountain Creek Bike Park, named
#1 Riders’ Choice by MTBParks is celebrating summer by hosting a weekly downhill Mountain Bike Camp just for kids.
Creek Kids Summer Downhill Camp, led by 3-time World Masters Downhill Champion and Expert Instructor at Dirt, Rock n Root Training, Kathi Krause, will feature four consecutive 1-day weekly learn-to downhill clinics. Held each Tuesday from July 14th through August 4th from 4-7PM, these clinics will start by reviewing the core fundamentals of mountain biking and focus on a new downhill skill each week. Each week's session will build upon the skills learned the previous week providing the Bike Park’s youngest riders with the core skills they will need to tackle the mountain top-to-bottom.
“
As downhill Mountain Biking continues to grow in popularity, our goal is to be the go-to place for kids to fall in love with the sport, stay active and have fun progressing their skills,” said Jim Costello, Marketing and Sales Director at Mountain Creek Resort.
The camp coincides with the grand opening of Mountain Creek’s new top-to-bottom beginner flow trail. This trail was specifically designed to introduce new riders to the thrills of gravity fueled mountain biking while using the pitch and grades of the terrain to naturally control riders’ speeds. This nearly 1-mile long trail is a long awaited addition to Mountain Creek’s 40+ miles of trail offerings.
In addition to top-notch instruction, the Creek Kids Camp includes complimentary day-lift access, photo & video documentation and discounted rental equipment if needed. The camp is targeted towards all children ages 9-15 looking to improve their skills.
The deadline to sign up for Creek Kids Summer Camp is Wednesday, July 8. For pricing info and to register, visit mountaincreekbikepark.com or click
