During our camp, little (and big) rocketeers will learn how to ride their bikes on grass, dirt, rocks and mountain trails in a fun and supportive environment. This five-day curriculum focuses on bike control skills and confidence building. Students will work with each other and the instructor to push their skills outside of their comfort zone so they can have a blast and pedal away with new found confidence!
We teach age appropriate trail etiquette, as well as specific instruction for beginners and more advanced riders.
Whether you are a confident rider or an average kid with no background in biking, we can guarantee you have an unforgettable experience at Reno Rocket Riders kids summer mountain bike camp!
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.
Don’t miss this great chance to ride some really awesome trails with new friends in beautiful Reno this summer!

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!
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!
