Other activities will include fort building, nature crafts, along with a weekly trip to the Adventure Park, where offerings are dependent on weather and availability of rides.

Is your child ready to rip!? This is the place for them to move beyond the pavement and onto the trail.
Campers must have advanced beyond training wheels and be comfortable riding on varying terrain. Your camper will spend each day of this camp being introduced to the basics of mountain biking. The proper stance, braking, and trail awareness will be demonstrated and taught to these young riders to give them the foundation for a lifetime of biking. The flat ground progression area outside of the Grand Avenue Chalet, Pump Track, Skills Park, and the Duluth Traverse will be the stomping ground for these Lil Rippers to grow!
If you are unsure of which level your Lil Ripper should be in, shoot us an email at: actionsports@spiritmt.com
What to bring: A bike without training wheels and a helmet are required. Gloves are strongly recommended. We would like each camper to have a backpack with a water reservoir or water bottle attached to the bike and snack for mid-camp break. Elbow and knee pads are also recommended to protect against the minor scrapes and bumps.

The Spirit Mountain week-long MTB Camps are for beginner to intermediate mountain bikers who want to learn more while having fun. Campers will be split into groups based on ability, age, and friends.
Spirit Mountain week-long bike camps are for campers who are ready to take their bikes off the road and onto dirt or have been on the trail and are looking to refine their skills. All campers will work on the fundamentals of mountain biking while refining their skills. Skills will be introduced and taught on the flat ground and reinforced in the Skills Park. All of these areas will allow your camper to be introduced to the greater trail system at Spirit Mountain!
This camp will utilize the flat ground, Skills Park, Pump Track, the Duluth Traverse and the downhill trail system up and around the base of Spirit Mountain. Based on a campers’ biking ability, we will venture to more areas and look at correctly reading lines throughout the trails and have an introduction to rocks and a greater variety of technical skills.
All campers will have a weekly trip to the Adventure Park to enjoy the Alpine Coaster, Putt Putt, Golf, Zip Line, and Jumping Pillow and will also utilize the lift accessed trails on Friday of each week, weather permitting.
