Bike Ventures Camp

Evergreen’s Bike Ventures Camp is dedicated to connecting campers aged 8-14 of all mountain biking experiences to the outdoors, where campers will take part in skills sessions, trail rides, mechanical workshops, and nature play.

The 2023 season is now closed. Please check back in the new year for registration details.

 

This program includes guidance and coaching from experienced mountain bikers and outdoor educators; however, we require all campers to have good bike handling skills before registering.

Details

Our experienced bike counsellors will help campers gain confidence, teach them important mountain biking safety skills, and ensure they have a positive experience while helping campers develop their mountain biking skills and confidence. Our Bike Ventures activities are designed to be fun, inclusive, and positive as campers work through their teamwork, sportsmanship, and of course, mountain biking skills.

 

Campers aged 8-14 ride their way through the wilder side of the Brick Works Camps and the Lower Don Valley!

 

Bike Ventures campers will be grouped together based on age to create an age-appropriate experience. Campers of all mountain biking experiences are welcome for each group; however, we require all campers to have good bike handling skills before registering.

Can my camper be in the same group as their friend?

Building a fun, friendly and accepting group of campers is a key goal for Evergreen Adventure Camp, and we encourage all campers to build new friendships while at Evergreen Brick Works.

 

To ensure this, we accept friend requests only if the campers are in the same grade program and session, and we limit the requests to one per camper. Friend requests that are not in the same grade and session group will not be considered.

 

Please write to camp@evergreen.ca with your friend request with your camper’s information as early as possible including their full name, registered camp session along with their friend’s camp information. We will try our best to accommodate, however, know that we are unable to guarantee friend requests.
