Signature Camp
August 31 - September 1
$550
Fast, fun, and scenic single track.
This camp is hosted at Thunder Mountain Bike Park in the charming town of Charlemont, MA. We will work on perfecting skills using large open areas, mountain bike-specific skills zones, and lift-accessed trails. The bike park is great for ALL SKILL LEVELS!
Thunder Mountain Bike Park is considered the east coast’s best bike park! It is a progression bike park built by Gravity Logic, builders of some of the most ridden downhill trails on the planet! Thunder Mountain is nestled in the stunning Berkshires near the quaint town of Charlemont, MA. It is about a 2.5-hour drive from Boston, MA. The trails at Thunder Mountain travel through pine forests, maple tree groves, alongside rivers, up and down hills and mountains. The views are majestic and often include wildlife. From smooth flowy green trails to technical berms, jumps and even rock slabs the bike park has something for everyone.
*Camp notesThis is a “downhill” focused camp with chairlift access at Thunder Mountain. The trails range from mild, low-angle flow trails with fun berms and rollable jumps to steep, rocky, rooty descents.
*Note: If you are a very advanced rider who has specific goals like “gap-jumps, doubles, whips, over 5ft drops, etc,” we suggest taking a private lesson with one of our coaches at a location that caters to jumping and dropping. If you are CLEARING tabletops (landing both wheels on landing, not top of table) comfortably and consistently, a private lesson will be more suited to your needs and desires.

Also please note electronic pedal-assist bikes are NOT allowed on trails at Thunder Mountain. :(
Helmet RequirementsThis camp will have lift-access riding for riders and full-face helmets are required while downhill riding. If you bring a full-face with you, also bring your open-face helmet for morning skills and drills. We will have a limited number of full-face helmets to demo but please plan to bring your own, borrow one from a friend or rent one from a bike shop or the resort. Downhill helmets are best paired with goggles so bring those too if possible.

"Today was my first post-clinic ride and I cannot believe the difference in my riding! First, I wasn't far behind my husband for once. Second, you've turned me into a real mountain biker! Third, I was jumping over rocks just for fun! Thank you for opening my eyes to a whole new world!"
