Cycling Camp is a general term that includes a number of summer camps that can be focused on mountain biking, road cycling, dirt biking, ramp biking or BMX. Some bicycling camps combine these different styles of biking as well, to create a broader program in which the kids can decide which type of biking they prefer. Classes and demonstrations of bike repair and bike safety are often an integral part of cycling camps. Environmental awareness and basic fitness and nutrition are often strongly emphasized during cycling sessions as well, as keeping yourself and your surroundings in good health should be top priority for any bicycler. 

Weather Considerations: Make sure to choose an appropriate location and time of year for your child to go to cycling camp due to the fact that cycling session are often canceled for any adverse weather conditions such as rain or thunderstorms.

What to Bring: Most camps require your child to take his or her own bike, helmet and other safety gear. It's also important to bring along sunblock to prevent sunburn, as well as sunglasses to protect the eyes. Fitted clothing is recommended, as biking is more comfortable when you don't have to worry about your clothing getting caught on the bike.
