About This Activity
Adventure Riding Camp offers a dynamic experience for older, more experienced Riders. ARC does daily rides spanning the city streets and trails. The goal of ARC is not only to enhance on- and off-road technical abilities, but also to emphasize the safety and enjoyment of our riders. ARC riders will experience a broad range of riding surfaces, from city streets and multi-use paths to off-road trails and technical singletrack. Coaches will work with campers on a wide variety of skills, including safe street riding practices, pedestrian interaction, efficient climbing and descending, gearing selection and pedaling cadence, technical trail riding, obstacle avoidance, jumps/drops, bike maintenance and trail-side repair, and group riding techniques and etiquette. Adventure Riding Camp caters to older, more experienced riders. A prerequisite for participation is a high comfort level on bikes and the necessary skills and mental focus required for big days on the bike. ARC participants can expect long/moderate or short/steep climbs, the potential for 15+ miles daily, and occasional requirements to carry bikes up/down stairs or other obstacles. Each full week of ARC offers two out-of-town field trips either by BART, Wheel Kids van, bus or even boat! Although, every day at ARC is basically a field trip to somewhere. We’re always on the go, exploring, learning, and having fun! Adventure Riding Camp is a full-day camp: Monday – Friday 8:30AM – 4:00PM, with optional aftercare from 4PM – 5:30PM (available at an additional cost). This camp is open to riders Level 5+, ages 10 – 14. Bike Requirement: Properly fitting two-wheel pedal bike appropriate for both on and off-road use. Front and rear hand brakes & gears required.
