Kick off the riding season with us at Catamount!
Join our team for a fun, welcoming mountain bike skills clinic designed for youth ages 6–14. This special session doubles as a coach training day, meaning your rider will get to learn alongside (and help train!) our coaching staff as they gear up for summer programs.
Whether your child is new to trails or getting ready for camp or club, this is a great opportunity to build confidence, practice foundational skills, meet the team, and enjoy time on the bike before the season begins.
During the session, riders will:
- Complete a basic bike safety check
- Participate in a low-pressure skill assessment
- Learn and practice core riding skills
- Head out for a fun, guided trail ride
This clinic is open to current campers and club members, and helps ensure riders are ready for a safe and successful summer.

- Ride confidently on flat, varied terrain (grass, dirt, gravel, roots)
