2027 Registration Is Now Open!

Bateman's MTB School Summer Camp | Ages 6–14

Get ready for a summer of riding, learning, and adventure in Toronto's Don Valley!

Bateman's MTB School Summer Camp is a mountain bike day camp for young riders ages 6–14 looking to build confidence, develop technical skills, and take their trail riding to the next level.

Led by experienced coaches, our camps combine skill development, trail exploration, and fun challenges in a supportive, inclusive team environment.

Whether your rider dreams of competing in local races, tackling technical trails, or simply becoming a stronger, more confident mountain biker, our summer camps offer the perfect opportunity to progress.

Mini Grom Camp | Ages 6–8

Our Mini Grom Camp is designed for younger riders who already have basic mountain biking experience and are ready to build confidence on real trails.

Through age-appropriate coaching, games, and trail adventures, campers develop essential bike handling skills, balance, braking, cornering, and trail awareness in a fun and encouraging environment.

Minimum Skill Requirements:

• A mountain bike with 20" wheels or larger

• Ability to use brakes and gears confidently

• Comfortable riding independently on singletrack trails

• Basic mountain biking experience and a willingness to learn

Please note: Mini Grom Camp is not a beginner learn-to-ride program. Riders should already be comfortable riding independently and ready for fun challenges on the trails.

Youth MTB Camp | Ages 9–14

Our Youth MTB Camp is designed for intermediate to advanced mountain bikers looking to improve their skills, build endurance, and tackle more challenging terrain.

Campers will develop technical riding skills, including cornering, braking, climbing, descending, line selection, and navigating trail features, while exploring Toronto's Don Valley trail network.

Whether preparing for local races, progressing toward more advanced trails, or simply enjoying a week of mountain biking with friends, riders will leave camp with greater confidence and improved skills.

Minimum Skill Requirements:

• Comfortable riding for 4–5 hours throughout the day, with breaks

• Confident using brakes and gears independently

• Able to ride green and blue mountain bike trails

• Previous singletrack mountain biking experience

• Motivated to learn new skills and techniques

• Enthusiastic about spending the day riding bikes!

Finding the Right Camp for Your Rider

Our priority is making sure every camper has a safe, supportive, and rewarding experience.

If you're unsure which camp is the best fit for your child, our team is happy to help assess their experience and recommend the right program.

If a camp proves too advanced for your rider, we'll gladly offer a credit toward another camp or youth program.
