Bristol Recreation Department is excited to offer a mountain bike skills camp by Professional Mountain Bike Instructors (PMBIA), Meridith McFarland. The camps will be based out of the Hub Teen Center and will have access to the trails, parks, and skills field.  Riders will learn bike handling skills, basic bike maintenance, and trail etiquette. riders will learn to jump off of features and natural terrain. Jumping will be introduced at the ability of the rider.
Riders should be comfortable on their bikes. Mountain bikes should be in good working order and have gears and hand brakes.

Little Ripper's ages 4-6 from 9:00a-12:00 pm. Bring your strider (balance bike), and/or a pedal bike to this camp. Learn how to balance, stride, and, for some, how to pedal. We have balance bikes available through a generous donation from the Masonic Lodge. Does your little ripper rip on a pedal bike already? Yes, awesome. We design the camp based on the riders' ability. 

UPDATE: Because the school has had Snow Days, we will start our June Rippers camp on Tuesday, June 18-20

Co-ed MTB Camp and Girls MTB Camp for ages 7-12 (girls camp 7-13) from 8:00a-3:00p
