All bike camps require at least 24 hour advance reservations, and subject to availability. Camp rates do not include lift tickets. Discounted lift tickets are available to those who register for a camp. Refer to the bottom of the page for more information.

SUN PEAKS FREERIDE CAMPS NOW SOLD OUT
Register for the 5 Day Camp by June 30, 2010, and receive a FREE DaKine Jersey and Shorts!
Professional mountain bikers and Kamloops home grown Matt Hunter, Specialized Bicycles, and Graham Agassiz, Kona Bicycles, are stoked to return for another year to coach the Sun Peaks Freeride Camp. Matt and Graham will be joining professional coach Justin Terwiel to offer the most exciting mountain bike camp offered in British Columbia's interior.
All aspects of freeriding will be covered during the week. Our team of coaches will develop camper’s skills and confidence, so they can ride wooden features, pin it on the single track, and flow through the machine made trails. Having a good time at camp is also important, so campers can expect tons of high fives, and lots of "yeah bro" shout outs from their coaches and fellow campers.
Coaches also focus on mountain bike setup and maintenance to ensure every camper's bike is safe and shred ready.
To ensure every kid gets proper instruction and safe care, students are broken up into groups based on riding ability, and the camper to coach ratio is no greater than 6:1.
BONUS! Riders who register for the 5 Day Freeride Camp by June 30, 2010, can also take 10% off their Bike Park season pass.
