Fall Youth Development Camp

Bateman’s 2025 Youth Development Camp – Fall Session

Overview:
Introducing our brand-new Youth Development Camp running this Fall 2025! This is an exclusive, high-impact mountain bike training program designed to prepare young riders for full-season development teams in Spring 2026. Participation is application-based to maintain an elite, focused environment. 

Program Highlights:

Schedule: Four weekday evening sessions, held Wednesdays from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM on September 3, 10, 17, and 24, with potential bonus sessions into October weather permitting.

Age Group: Youth riders aged 9 to 14.

Skill Focus: Intermediate to advanced riders ready to confidently handle trails like the Ridge Trail and most blue-level terrain, with progression aimed toward black‑diamond challenges.

Event Focus: While racing isn’t mandatory, the camp gears up for participation in events such as the Horseshoe Bike Fest (Enduro Race) in Spring/Summer 2026. Even non-race participants will gain race-ready skills.

Fitness Readiness: Participants should already have strong fitness or the drive to build it. This camp demands above-average physical capability.

Investment & Value:

Program Fee: $450 CAD for the full fall session. 

Why Join: This session is your springboard—gain advanced skills, confidence, and camaraderie while positioning yourself for consideration on Bateman’s full-season development teams in 2026. 

Enrolment Details:

Spaces are limited: the program is selective to ensure high-quality, focused instruction. Applications are reviewed, and only suitable candidates will be contacted.
