The High Peaks Mountain Guides also offer "Dirt Camps" at Mount Van Hovenberg.  As part of the camps they emphasize a "Fun Not Fear" mentality of mountain biking.  They teach not only kids, but also Military Personnel and other groups.  The purpose of the "Dirt Camps" is to focus on riding skills as well as overcoming fears that can sometimes be associated with off-road riding.  They offer half-day, full-day, and 2-day options for the camps.  Camps include bike rental, trail fee, helmet, and all other necessary equipment.  Rates begin at $100 for a 1/2 day group camp and go up to $550 for a private 2-day camp.  Contact High Peaks Cyclery for more information.  

The High Peaks Mountain Bike Center is a great roesource for visiting and local riders alike.  There is a lot to be excited about at the mountain bike center as the summer progresses so get out there and check it out.
