In the winter, Grouse Mountain is ideal for shredding the slopes on your skis or snowboards, but summer on Grouse Mountain offers EPIC biking trails for an all-season adventure. If your child or youth is looking for thrills (but needing to build skills) and wants to spend their days outdoors exploring, then Mavericks Mountain Bike Summer Camps are the place to be!

Be among the first to ride Grouse Mountain’s brand new bike park, which is also the North Shore’s only lift-accessed bike park! Designed with varying levels in mind, Mavericks Mountain Bike Camp offers something for those who have never been to a bike park before, all the way up to thrill-seekers looking to increase their skill level. Whether you’re most comfortable just doing first drops or flow trails, the supportive instructors from Grouse Mountain will ensure all campers stay safe and build their skills throughout the week.

Mavericks Mountain Bike Camps are geared toward kids and youth ages 7-14 who are confident riding on paved paths and confident using hand gears and hand brakes. During these week-long camps, instructors will demonstrate new skills and allow ample time for campers to practice and spend time on the trails. The entire day will be spent outdoors on bikes or taking breaks as needed to refuel, rest, and learn from the guides. Your child will come home at the end of each day exhausted and excited to return the next day. Not only do Mavericks Mountain Bike Camps build biking competency, they also increase self-awareness, confidence and independence as campers are encouraged to try new things and be responsible for themselves and others on the trails.  Plus, there is no place that is more idyllic to mountain bike than the trails of Grouse Mountain!

What to Bring to Camp:

  • Your own equipment: a medium, well-fitted, tuned bike with dual handbrakes.
  • well-fitting helmet, elbow pads, knee pads and biking gloves
  • water, preferably a hydration pack or water bottle that can travel in a backpack
  • lunch and snacks

The Peak of Vancouver, as it’s often called, boasts stunning views of Vancouver and is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. While your child spends the day mountain biking, families with tickets or passes can take in the sights, go for hikes, or check out some of the many amenities available on the mountain. In addition to Mavericks Mountain Bike Camps, Grouse Mountain also offers adventure summer camps, so kids who are interested in different camps can still spend their summer in the same place (a dream for parents who don’t want to drive all over Vancouver!)
