little rippers 1 and 2 (5-7yrs)
Are your little rippers bored with
riding around on the sidewalk in front of your house?
Are they trying to huck off curbs and build their own mini jumps in the
backyard? Before you let them get more "air"
you should sign them up for Little Rippers. Qualified
instructors will assess every rider's ability and design
a custom camp for the group. Teaching safe behaviors
will be the main objective of the camp. We have 2 levels
for LR but don't worry too much about what category
they are in, the assessment is where it all happens.
Kids will practice on mini-ramps, ride through
Pacific Spirit Park trails, Trimble Park and Jericho
Beach. Everyone gets a T-shirt
and plenty of prizes!

extreme riders
1 and 2 (8-12yrs)
Nothing beats ESC Extreme Riders camps.
We are the biggest and longest running bike camp in
the world! We create hundreds of skilled riders each
year and always strive for excellence. Riders are placed
in 2 levels based on age and level. Skill building
starts right away with an intensive course about safety
on roads and on trails. Then riders are assessed and
receive lots of personalized attention from their instructors.
The group hits the trails as soon as everyone is ready.
Each day we are going to explore different levels of
trails throughout the UBC endowment lands, Pacific
Spirit and
Jericho Park, stop for lots of educational and fun
filled breaks, and finish off each day at Jericho
Beach. Absolutely
nothing comes even close to our camps! Guaranteed!

Adventure
Camp (8-12yrs)
This is for the kid that wants a bit of
everything. We are going to sample as much of what
Vancouver has to offer. Your little one is going to
sleep very well after this camp! This camp is an
incredible amount of fun, but is only offered 3
weeks out of the summer. Check the
dates and Prices page for information about
availability.
Itinerary will be determined at a later date and is
subject to change from weather and availability of
equipment.

Our Goals:
SMALL GROUPS
Little
Rippers: 1:5
Extreme
Riders: 1:7
We have
low ratios giving our instructors the opportunity to
work with your child personally and frequently on
specific biking skills.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT
One of our
goals is not to just lead your kids around the
trails, we want them to become better bikers when
they leave our programs. Your child could become
skilled enough to join our high performance free
ride team that rides the Bike Parks and trails of
the North Shore and all over BC. Some youths start
the high skill programs at 10 years old if they have
the ability.
NO TRACE BIKING
We will be
exploring one of Vancouver's treasures, and we
intend on leaving no trace that our groups had been
through the area. Our hope is to instil a sense of
environmental stewardship in your kids so that they
feel as proud and passionate as we do for the
ecosystems that exist near UBC and Jericho Beach.
