Calling all Groms & Junior Shredders, looking to boost the Send-o-meter and ride better and faster? You gotta check out our Kids Summer MTB Camps!
We are running two camps this summer, one in Tahoe (Tahoe Trail Thrashers) and one in Reno (Reno Rocket Riders). Each week long camp has been designed to teach beginner to intermediate mountain biking skills. Riders will be introduced to proper bike setup, riding in a group, cornering, shifting gears and braking. They will also learn basic trail skills such as how to get up and down the trail safely, how to control their bikes on different terrain and obstacles they will encounter while riding the trails.
Our kids summer MTB camps are a FIVE DAY fundamentals course (10am-4pm) covering all the basics needed to shred your bike. We will be playing games and doing drills you can practice at home.
Each camp, your little shredder will receive professional coaching, life skills, meet new friends, learn how to work on the bike and how to handle hard trail situations with multiple options. At the end of camp each participant will receive a shredders diploma, gifts, goodies and the joy of experiencing the great outdoors as they should be. I stand by my camps and I know your child will learn and enjoy themselves at the same time. Let’s get it.
These camps are a great introduction to mountain biking as well as a great way to get your kids off their screens and outside this summer!

Ronnie works to ensure the kids are responsible riders, teaches them the importance of being prepared out on the trails, and shares his love for the sport that all culminates in such a fun adventure! We will definitely be riding with Ronnie again!
Ronnie put together a great customized camp for under 12's. Almost all mountain bike camps are over 12, so we decided to work with Ronnie to set up a private session. 6 kids signed up and had an amazing time honing their mountain bike skills and have a great time. Lots of fun in nature, great rides and being able to hang with their buddies, make new buddies and support each other on the trails! My daughter LOVED every minute of it!
There were limited mountain bike camps in Tahoe doe the under 12’s, so we organized one for the younger kids with Ronnie! Absolutely amazing coach! 6 kids all had THE BEST TIME! All talked about how ‘rad’ it was, hard but fun.my daughter really enjoyed Ronnie as a coach and is even more motivated now to challenge herself more! I hope we can organize another camp next summer! Thanks again Ronnie!
