Rotorua Shred Camp

After four years of running kids mountain bike sessions in Rotorua, we’re excited to finally launch a School Holiday Mountain Bike Camp in the Whakarewarewa Forest.

This is designed for young riders who already enjoy riding the forest trails and want three days of progression, confidence building and fun on the bike.

Unlike many holiday programs, this isn’t a big group babysitting setup. We keep things small, focused and fun so riders get real coaching and lots of time on the trails.

Camp Details

Where - Whakarewarewa Forest, Rotorua

How long - 3 Day Camp (one registration is for all 3 days with us)

Timings - 10:00am – 3:00pm each day

Age 9-12

Small groups of 6–8 riders per coach

We’ll be running two groups simultaneously, allowing us to split riders based on confidence and ability.

What Riders Will Learn

Over the three days we’ll work on:
• Braking and speed control

• Cornering technique
• Trail scanning and line choice
• Riding safely with other riders
• Small feature progression (rollers, drops, trail obstacles)
• Basic bike awareness and trail etiquette

Most importantly, the goal is to help kids become confident and independent riders in the forest.

Why Parents Like This Program

• Small group coaching
• Experienced MTB coaches
• Lots of riding time
• Clear progression over the three days
• A positive and supportive environment

Many riders already attend our weekly programs, but this camp is also perfect for kids who simply love riding bikes and want to improve.

Limited Spots

Because we run small groups, places are limited.

If you think your child would enjoy it, book their spot as soon as you have confirmed with them.
