Mountain Biking Camp
Love mountain biking, or want to even more? Come join us at Wilson Park
and the trails of Carolina North Forest this summer. Youth will first learn
the mechanics of the bicycle and then the proper techniques of shifting,
braking, hill climbing and descent, body and pedal position, and navigating
minor obstacles. Then we’ll take to the trails to practice our safe bike
handling skills. You will need your bike, helmet, a snack, a super-stoked
attitude and some way to stay hydrated (water bottle or hydration pack).
Please make sure to have a free bike safety check at the Clean Machine         Kayaking Camp
prior to camp. Instructions will be provided via email.                        OFFERED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HAW RIVER
