SkiGeilo Bike Camp (Ages 5–8)
Welcome to our free Bike Camp for children aged 5–8! Join us for a fun-filled weekend of mountain biking, learning, and new friendships! Through games and age-appropriate coaching, children will develop fundamental riding skills such as balance, cornering, braking, and small jumps.
This summer, your child has a unique opportunity to develop their mountain biking skills at the SkiGeilo Bike Camp. The group is limited to just 8 participants, ensuring individual coaching and the best possible experience for everyone.
The camp is designed to build confidence step by step, progressing from simple skills exercises to exciting riding on trails, the pump track, and flow trails—all in a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment.
