Bring a Hydration pack: The campers are out riding all day and need to stay hydrated, the hydration packs carry a lot of liquid and can also carry snacks, spare tubes and money (if needed).

Please Email us back at osmond.bakker@gmail.com to let me know the skill level of your child, on a scale of beginner, moderate or advanced. If you are unsure of their skill level, you may also detail the trails they have been on and we will be able to pinpoint their ability in reference to other campers. We have to put them in these groups which will act as their cohorts for the week. The ywill be kep apart from other groups, however, if there needs to be necessary changes, we will make them the first day at lunch
