What is Mars Hill Cycling Mountain Bike CampWe are a 6-day overnight camp for intermediate to advanced male and female junior riders looking to develop skills, confidence, and fitness. Each day introduces new skills with opportunity to practice on easy terrain before putting them to use out on the trails. We'll get in plenty of mileage and keep the stoke level high by riding some of the best trails Western North Carolina has to offer, including Pisgah National Forest and Dupont State Forest.What you can expect: skills-based instruction adjusted to your skill level for technical descending, climbing (we earn our turns!), cornering and braking; safety and situational awareness on trail; equipment selection, maintenance and repair; training and racing strategies; proper bike fit, fueling, and recovery; lots of fun group dynamics. Plus picnics, games, movie nights and waterfalls Paying for camp:1 The most direct: You can follow the instructions above and register on Bike-Reg. This is the most direct way.2 The least expensive: You can pay via check, which avoids Bike-Reg transaction fees ($70), after paying we will email you a code to complete your registration on Bike-Reg. 3 Spreading out the cost: BikeReg now offers the ability to spread out your payments when you pay for camp using PayPal https://www.paypal.com/us/digital-wallet/ways-to-pay/buy-now-pay-later Mars Hill Cycling Camps and USA Cycling: For years Mars Hill Cycling Camps have aimed to provide not only a fun and enriching summer road and mountain bike overnight camp experience, but also to provide education and training to help campers reach the next level in their sport. For 2023 and 2024 we were recognized by USA Cycling as a part of their Athlete Development Pathway Regional Camp system. For 2025 there are no longer USAC ADP Regional camps, but Mars Hill Cycling Camp aims to continue building on the years of success we have had with that model, including offering certified rider instruction, challenging riders' fitness, building character and helping riders find their next opportunity in sport. All campers can expect the same riding, fun, and enrichment we’ve always provided. Education: Discussions and seminars on multiple topics to improve athletic performance. Skills: Sessions designed to increase understanding of skills and foster safe methods for improvement. Training: Solid training and testing protocols to increase fitness. Exceeding Industry Standards: Mars Hill Cycling Camp also aims to meet or exceed relevant industry standards including certified coaching staff with PMBIA and USA Cycling Coaching Licenses, Safe Sport Training Staff, First Aid and CPR Trained Staff, Wilderness First Aid Certifications, insured and permitted to operate. Housing: The default dorm housing is dual occupancy. Community bathrooms, separate wings for men and women. We will pair you with a sibling, a friend that you know, or with a camper of similar age. This works great for most campers but we also understand that some campers may have a need for a single occupancy dorm. A single occupancy room can be added for $150 via BikeReg or at check in on a first come first serve basis.
