MOUNTAIN BIKING
4th, 5th, & 6th Grades
5 Weeks of Mountain Biking
Culminating Overnight Adventure
Join us this fall for an unforgettable 5-weeks of mountain biking on our local trail systems. This program is designed to introduce participants to the basics of mountain biking, including riding techniques (effective bike position, safe climbing/descending, effective shifting and braking, etc.), routine maintenance, and other bike related skills. While we welcome all ability levels, no experience is necessary!
To facilitate a safe and enjoyable overnight, other skill development areas will build upon environmental awareness, leave no trace ethics, ecology, back-country cooking, and other essentials important for safety and fun on an overnight in the field.
In addition, each session is infused with our social-emotional learning curriculum, weaving together team building, group games, and guided reflection. With small group sizes, we’re able to foster meaningful relationships, strong group bonds, and a high instructor-to-student ratio that keeps learning personalized and engaging.
Lastly, as part of our commitment to community connection, one session is dedicated to service learning, with a hands-on trail building project with Midcoast Trails Stewardship. Learn more about our service learning here.
Most importantly, this program is all about getting outside this Fall, having FUN, and making lasting memories!
