ENDURO | HOST TO THE ENDURO WORLD SERIES, WHISTLER OFFERS SOME OF THE BEST “ENDURO” RIDING IN THE WORLD. Technical, steep, fast, challenging, flowy, world-class singletrack litters Whistler's beautiful valley. For the adventurous rider, this camp will take you to all the best spots and train you how to ride like a pro.

The ZEP staff are always fighting over who gets to coach this one!



INSTRUCTOR TRAINING CAMPS | LEARN TO RIDE AND TEACH LIKE A PRO SO YOU CAN SPREAD THE LOVE!

ZEP has played a key role in pioneering and pushing the standards of mountain bike instructor training, throughout North America and Australia, since they developed and ran the first PMBI Certification Courses in 2006, and the industry-first multi-week MTB Instructor Training camps, in 2007. ZEP’s Mountain Bike Instructor Training Camps are the ultimate way to progress your riding skills while you learn how to teach; all from industry leading PMBI Examiners. The camp will train you how to analyze your own riding, push your skills to the next level and then help you prepare for the PMBI Certification Courses. Camps come in 2, 4, and 5 week options, again with different accommodation packages to suit your budget.
