We're getting a lot of enquiries regarding summer camps for 2025. We're encouraged by the requests and kind things you have to share about your kids experiences at our camps.
Your kids experience on our camps is our primary reason for existing as a business. We strive to make them challenging, confidence building, engaging, varied and as safe as we can make them while developing their mountain biking skills and love for the outdoors.
Because we have no interest in putting out a sub par experience that could be confused with glorified babysitting, we don't have any news yet on 2025 camps. Some of our amazing coaches have moved on to different careers, parenthood and other towns and I (Dan) want to make sure we have new coaches/youth workers that can live up to the quality camp experience that we are known for and also an administrator that can help execute them smoothly and keep our communications and seasonal operations up to par before we publish dates and numbers. My ideal is that we would have registrations released by spring break but before that can happen, there is a lot to figure out.
Staffing: if you know of anyone who is looking for part or full time administration hours with business experience from May to October, please send them our way. And if you know of any riders with wilderness first aid, a class 4 license, are certified instructors (or willing and capable to certify), who have a heart for seeing kids grow as riders and as people, then have them drop us a line.
Pricing: as the price of everything goes up, sadly so must the price of our camps. We are significantly cheaper than every other business from Calgary to Victoria and to keep making our camps and programs economically viable, we will have to increase pricing closer to the western Canada average. We do not want this to be an unreachable experience for families that are struggling so we are looking at ways to partner with local non profits to facilitate some subsidized spots to help make it more attainable.
Thank you for your patience and continued support, hopefully all the pieces will come together to make summer 2025 a great one.
