ride all day - build skills - make summer count
July & August | Ages 6–15
Welcome to the summer MTB Club!
Ready to ride more than just your neighborhood loop?
Join our Summer MTB Club—a fun, high-energy, adventure-based program designed for confident youth riders who want to explore Squamish trails, progress their skills, and spend their summer on bikes.
This isn’t your average day camp.
It’s a mountain bike adventure, built for young riders who already have trail experience and are stoked to level up.
Why choose the Spring MTB Club?
Because your kid doesn’t want to be babysat—they want to ride.
And you want a program that’s safe, professional, and full of real mountain bike learning.
Our coaches aren’t just experienced riders—they’re educators, mentors, and skilled communicators. At SMBA, coaching is intentional, strategic, and backed by a clear philosophy: confidence leads to fun, and fun leads to greatness.
This is what sets us apart—and what makes our riders come back, season after season.
what to expect
Each day is guided by SMBA’s coaching-first approach—where confidence, progression, and fun go hand in hand. While this isn’t a structured lesson start-to-finish, our coaches are constantly weaving in technical tips, trail strategies, and individual feedback throughout the ride.
It’s more than a guided tour—it’s real coaching, in a summer-long adventure format.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
Riding levels
Keep in mind, these levels are simply a guide to assist with group placements. We typically run multiple groups with varying abilities, so there’s flexibility to adjust and move riders into the group that suits them best, even after the program begins.
This program utilizes the Alice Lake and Diamond Head/University trail networks, featuring classic climbs and trails such as LOA, Rollercoaster, Miki’s Magic, Pseudo-Tsuga, and Half Nelson.
Comfortable Riding:
Riders at this level are confident on all green trails and most blue trails. They may still need guidance and practice to clear trickier sections on blue trails and navigate technical features
Skill Focus:
Position and Balance, braking control, cornering techniques, tabletop jumps, small drops, trail flow, blue technical features.
Stamina:
Riders can sustain a steady pace for 2 hours, with regular breaks to refuel and regroup.
Comfortable Riding:
Warriors are confident on all blue trails and most black trails, with the ability to handle a variety of technical features. They may still need guidance to conquer tricky black sections and more challenging black-rated technical trail features.
Skill focus:
Refining position and balance for technical terrain, mastering braking control for steep descents, advancing cornering techniques, exploring gap jumps, drops, increasing trail flow, and confidently navigating black-rated technical features, rock rolls, and tricky line choices.
