DH MTB Summer Session

DH MTB Race Camp

This 4-day camp is designed for athletes ages 11-16 who want to take their racing to the next level. Set in a fun and supportive environment, athletes will work in small groups with professional coaches to develop their DH riding and mental performance skills, racing strategy, preparation and recovery, fitness and other essential elements of developing into a top athlete.

The KMS campus is homebase, taking full advantage of the athletic and dining facilities. Training will primarily happen at Killington Resort, one of the top bike parks in the US! Other activities will either take place on campus or within short travel distances from campus.
