Kids had a great time with Chris. He managed a group of varied experience brilliantly and kept them all engaged and excited. Fab challenges and all were both chuffed and tired by the end of the two hours. Highly recommended as a kids party!
A holiday camp offers a great opportunity for young riders aged 10-12 who already have some experience on a mountain bike and want to improve their skills. Over three days, participants will focus on refining their technique while enjoying plenty of riding, games, and challenges.
Each day is packed with a range of activities designed to develop riding skills and build confidence. Riders will start with a fun skills session to hone their abilities, then practice those skills in real-world riding conditions.
The camp includes woodland trail rides, sender ramps, and games to keep things engaging. There will also be challenges to test how well the participants have grasped the techniques they've learned.
Based at Deeside Activity Park, located in the heart of Royal Deeside, the bike hub offers easy access to a variety of local trails, from peaceful forest routes to more exciting, challenging terrain.

This camp is ideal for kids who are already familiar with basic mountain biking skills, such as handling the bike and riding on various terrain. Participants should have their own bike in good condition, although there is the option to rent bikes and protective gear from the hub if necessary.
Riders should be comfortable with short-distance trail riding and have a general understanding of bike control.

Their combined experience ensures that each rider will receive tailored coaching in a fun, safe, and engaging environment.
The team is committed to sustainability and supporting local communities, ensuring that every trail explored is done so with landowners' consent and in a way that minimises environmental impact.
