Mountain Bike Adventure Camp is designed to nurture a child’s connection to nature, movement, and self-discovery through the joy of cycling. Inspired by Waldorf education principles, the camp fosters experiential learning, allowing children to develop confidence, coordination, and resilience through hands-on exploration. Just as Waldorf schools emphasize learning through rhythm and engagement with the natural world, our program encourages kids to tune into their bodies, build skills at their own pace, and cultivate a sense of wonder as they ride through forests, fields, and winding trails.

Skill Level Required:

Intermediate bike riders
Campers should be comfortable riding on:
- Gravel pathways (e.g., Royal Recreation Trail in Riverside Park)
- Beginner singletrack trails (Middle Ground, Grand Truck, Devil’s Backbone)
- Terrain with small roots and rocks
Campers should be interested in learning intermediate singletrack trails (Mad Hatter, South Park, Snail Trail) and some technical sections such as bumps or berms
Campers are expected to be able to ride for 2 or more hours at a fun and leisurely pace throughout the day

Parents are expected to drop off and pick up their children at Trillium Waldorf School for 4 days and at Eastview Park for 1 day.

PLEASE NOTE: The camp staff will monitor but cannot administer medication. We can store the medication in a designated area and remind your child to take it according to the written instructions. Staff are not responsible for "missed doses" but will do their best to avoid this situation.

Medication (including Epi-pens) must be submitted to the Camp Leader in the original container, with the Child's Name on it.

Anaphylaxis management and the use of epinephrine auto-injections (Epi-pen or Twinject) is a shared responsibility. Practicing emergency drills with your child results in effective emergency response in case of a reaction.

Campers must be mindful of their allergies. Campers should:

Carry at least one epinephrine auto-injector, as age appropriate
Wear medical identification (Medic Alert Bracelet)
Inform staff if he/she suspects a reaction is happening
Ensure that asthma is well controlled and managed coming into the environment (indoor/outdoor play)
