Our Girls Riding Together 3 Day Camp is returning and this year we are taking it to Nockamixon MTB Trails!
When: June 20, 21 & 22, 2024 – 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
We are partnering with the Bucks County Team and are welcoming any female students, coaches and volunteers who would like to learn more about joining a PICL MTB team, racing bikes, adventure riding, building some skills and making new friends this June! Rad Dads and male allies are welcome to join as volunteers for this event.
Who should join this camp?
This camp is ideal for girls from grade 6-12. No mountain bike skills are required, but basic bike riding skills are a must. While this camp is for Lehigh Valley and Bucks County Teams, we would love to have girls from other teams or school districts join us and learn more about GRiT, mountain biking and how to also get started in your local area!
We can arrange for a limited number of loaner bikes on a first come first serve basis. Please reach out with sizing if you need a bike appropriate for mountain bike trails during the camp.
We welcome returning female students as ambassadors.
