GRiT Try-It-Out Summer Clinic
You are invited!
Dates: June 14-16, 2021 9AM- Noon daily
This season we are trying something new!
You are invited to join us for our 3 day summer camp Try-It-Out clinic for female identifying students entering Middle or High School by fall 2021.
Why a GRiT camp?
All Middle and High School students are welcome to register for our regular co-ed Try-It-Out rides, but we are extending this special invitation to female identifying athletes specifically, offering a welcoming environment that may help overcome some fears or concerns of riding in a co-ed group right off the bat.
What do you need to participate?
All students will need a (mountain) bike in good working order , a helmet, hydration and a snack. If you do not own a mountain bike yet but would like to try-it-out before you commit, please indicate you will need one on our registration form. Please note that we cannot guarantee a loaner bike, but will try our best to accommodate all students.
