At the Kolo Flow Bike Summer Camp, campers will ride on purpose-built mountain bike trails and skill elements designed for all levels of rider to experience flow on a bicycle. Kolo Bike Park is a great way for young riders to build confidence and skill in a controlled environment. Other activities include use of an outdoor swimming pool and indoor activities such as bicycle movies and games on bad weather days.

The camp is for kids age 6-13 years who can comfortably ride a two-wheel bicycle. Some off-road experience is recommended but not required. The camp runs weekly from 8:30-3:30 June 12 to August 18.

The itinerary for each day is generally as follows – though the order may change depending on weather and/or group dynamics:

  • Warm-up and stretching loosely based on yoga & martial arts practices
  • Off-the bike games
  • Bike skill instruction and ride time
  • Lunch
  • Off-the bike games
  • Free bike ride time grouped by skill-level
  • Open swim/pool time at resort pool on property
  • Pick-Up

Helmets are required anytime your child is on a bicycle. Campers will need to bring a packed lunch and any snacks they may need. Some snacks are available for sale at the Bike Park such as chips, pretzels, Clif, Honey Stinger, ProBar products along with PowerAde and SanPellegrino. Plenty of cold water is available for free on site, but each child should have a water bottle that can be carried on the bike. Campers should arrive “pre-sun-screened” if desired. Counselors may not be asked to apply sun screen.  A swim suit and towel will be needed to participate in pool time. A plastic bag to store wet clothes after swimming is recommended.

 

Prices are for BYO-Bike. If a rental bicycle is needed, arrangements must be made separately in advance by calling Kolo Bike Park at 828.707.4876.  Price for the camp with a rental bike is $350 per week.
