Why attend our Camp
SKILLS
We all love watching those insane videos of riders on social media and hope to be able to post one them of ourselves someday. These riders have mastery of mountain bike skills. Enduro racers pedal hard for speed and posses mental capasities to envision thier lines and landings. You don't get fast legs by riding up ski lifts at bike parks. It is through mountain biking where one learns and develops these fundamental skills. This is what we teach.
FUN
Our Camp is on the campus of Mt. St Mary's Univeristy, we have access to all of the ammenities. I go to school there, so I know it well. We will be riding the trails on campus and the adjascent Emmitsburg Watershed, Frederick Watershed, and Michaux State Forest. Our cafeteria has great food and lots to choose from..
SAFETY
*Our objective is to keep everyone safe. We have safety plans, the service of the University's safety and security department, and an urgent care facility on campus. (Which we don't plan on using). All dorms have Mountaccess key cards
*Nobody is going to ride anything above their ability. We assess everyone.
*Our camp is geared for boys and girls ages 13-18 who are motivated and experienced.
RIDING AFTER HIGH SCHOOL
The collegiate racing scene is an excellent stepping stone from what NICA offers to high schoolers for those looking to race at higher levels. The collegiate racing scene offers high level of competition with riders from around the country and in some cases around the world. However, what makes the racing scene special is how quickly you will make freinds not just from your school, but from other schools all over the country. You become apart of a community that is so special and unique to any other competetion sport that only drives you and others to become better riders, friends, supporters, and ultimately people.
