Dylan Sherrard and the Bicycle Café team, including pros Graham Agassiz, Ace Hayden and Matt Miles coach this comprehensive camp which introduces riders aged 10–17 years to all aspects of freeriding in the legendary Sun Peaks Bike Park.

Our coaches have been riding a long time and know it's all about having fun on the trails, so skill development is well balanced with positive encouragement and plenty of high fives! They'll provide campers with the skills and confidence to tackle single track, berms, jumps, steeps, and whatever else the mountain might throw their way. Campers will also learn bike setup and maintenance to ensure their bikes are properly tuned and safe to hit the trails.

Students are broken up into groups based on riding ability and the camper to coach ratio is no greater than 6:1, to ensure everyone gets the best instruction and safest care possible.
Shuttle service is available between Kamloops and Sun Peaks. Bikes will be transported to Sun Peaks on Monday morning, kept in secure overnight storage during the week, and returned with campers on Friday afternoon. Our women's freeride camps are hosted by Cheryl Beattie, an experienced, local coach from the Bicycle Café in Kamloops. Cheryl keeps the ladies coming back year after year with camps focused on improving riding skills and confidence in the Sun Peaks Bike Park. Students will be grouped together based on riding ability and the camper to coach ratio does not exceed 6:1. A day on the trails tailored specifically for the ladies, including a full day of instruction and Bike Park ticket for the day. These fun-filled Thursdays are a great way to break into the Bike Park, coached by experienced, energetic, local female riders to maximize confidence and skill development, while keeping it light and fun.

The Professional Mountain Bike Instructor (PMBI) Certification courses are designed to train you in modern mountain bike riding theory, skills and techniques and then how to safely and effectively teach these to clients, regardless of the mountain bike discipline. They are a result of nearly 20 years' experience in mountain biking, studying the physics and biomechanics involved within the sport, while teaching, coaching and instructor training in the mountain bike and snowboard industries since 1998.

These courses offer a modern approach and professional quality of training that will help develop your enthusiasm and skills within the sport into a passion, and possibly even a career, for teaching it to others.
