Flow Adventures MTN Bike Camp

Flow Adventures MTN Bike Camp

**This registration is for ONE or BOTH weeks of camp**

Looking to ride mountain bikes with friends this summer and learn some new skills on the trails? Mountain bike camp is the place for you! Join Flow Adventures at Stratham Hill Park for a fun filled four half-days of riding bikes. We will be building skills on single track trails all over Stratham, improving our technical riding over roots, rocks, bridges and maybe even a little air time. We will be climbing and descending hills...and yes, the pump track! All riders must be willing and capable to ride their bike for three hours. All riders must have their own working mountain bike, proper fitting helmet, water and any snack they may want during their session.

Flow camps are designed for riders who have little or no “single-track” experience. This means that they can, currently and confidently, ride a bike on a dirt road and through grassy fields, but want to get better on more intermediate level trails. This camp is intended to prepare campers for intermediate level riding and develop some of the basic skills necessary for riding more advanced terrain.

Flow Adventures is owned and organized by Don Mills and Sean McGrimley. Both who are local physical education teachers who have strong backgrounds in mountain biking. Don and Sean both coach local high school bike teams, have volunteered for Seacoast Velo Kids programs, and enjoy riding bikes in their off time. Each has had the opportunity to ride bikes around the US and abroad in places like Italy and New Zealand. If you have any questions regarding the camp, please reach out to Don Mills (dpmills@exeter.edu) and/or Sean McGrimley (smcgrimley@gmail.com).

Description of MTN Bike Riding Skill Levels and Flow Camp:

Beginner:
Beginner flow camps are designed for riders who have little or no “single-track” experience. This means that they can confidently ride a bike and will be comfortable riding on a dirt road, through grassy fields and want to get better on the trails. This camp is intended to prepare campers for the intermediate level camps and develop some of the basic skills necessary for riding more single track terrain.

Intermediate:
Intermediate flow camps are the camps that most returning families will be familiar with, these camps involve multiple hours of trail riding each day and are designed for a rider looking to improve their trail riding skills! In these camps, we follow a method that ensures proper riding technique, encourages riders to practice safe riding, and informs campers about proper trail etiquette. We will also take some time to help campers develop essential safety skills, proper equipment to carry and discuss proper bike maintenance.

Advanced:
Advanced flow camps are intended for riders who have spent many hours riding the trails both at camp and on their own. These camps are intended to push riders towards learning more advanced skills and move at a faster pace (than the intermediate camps). At these camps, we will spend more time riding technical terrain. This often involves stopping to look at features, practicing line choice, and making good judgments on whether an obstacle is safe to attempt. These camps will expand on many of the concepts that the other camps teach both on and off the bike!
