The camp ground has running water which is drinkable. Other good things to bring include bug spray, swim suit, sun screen, sun glasses and hat.

Food:
We will provide breakfast and lunch both Saturday and Sunday as well as dinner Saturday night. Bring your own favorite ride snack or lunch if you have special requirements or favorites. Complimentary post-ride beverages will be provided.

Weather:
The weather should be warm during the day but tends to cool off at night since we will be at 5,000 feet.

Youth Program:
Join the Student and Family fun.

Saturday, we'll have pros working with the kids to teach skills clinic, focusing on proper trail riding techniques and form.

On Sunday we'll be focusing on trail building as we continue progress on the Mt Elwell Trail, in partnership with the US Forest Service.

Grab the tent and bring you kids to the mountains - we'll make sure it's a GREAT weekend for your family.
