Find out about our Summer Adventure Trips
Our Summer Adventures give young riders a chance to enjoy trails further from home and the experience of camping out, building self-reliance, team work and learning skills for life. But most of all it's fun!
For the residential trips, we travel together and stay at an awesome centre in the heart of the Cairngorms with toilet and shower facilities, as well as on site activities and even its own bike park! Theres plenty to do on and off the bike.
All equipment is provided, except personal kit such as a sleeping bag and sleeping mat etc. Tents will be provided with instruction for setting up, with separate accommodation for young people and adults. Three meals a day are included as well as a meal out and trail snacks.
The Level 2 trip includes a day trip to Laggan Wolftrax as well as trails local to Aviemore. While the Level 3 trip also includes long rides on more technical terrain.
We'll also have the opportunity to visit a swimming pool, see amazing views and evening games of B.I.K.E before sunset!
What makes our Summer Adventures unique is the skills for life which builds confidence and self-reliance for our young riders. Each participant will get the chance to work in a team for the shopping, cooking, cleaning, looking out equipment and kit, as well as navigation and even a chance to lead part of the rides! All under the supervision of our experienced guide.
