If your child wants to be in the same group as another camper, friend requests can be made by contacting rob@batemansmtbschool.com Please note that skill level, experience and goals will determine each child’s group to ensure safety and fun for all.

What happens if it rains?

We bike rain or shine! Depending on how hard it’s raining, we will pivot and adapt as necessary. When shelter is needed, campers will spend some time in covered locations in the Don or at the camp Hub doing off bike activities such as: learning about their bikes, bike maintenance, bike safety and discussing various biking techniques, playing games, arts & crafts, and engaging in whatever fun activities the counsellors have up their sleeves. Staff are constantly adapting the program depending on weather, the groups energy level and interests.

For the sake of all participants, we are unable to offer make-up days or credits for camp days missed by a participant. We thank you for understanding!
