Daily schedule for 4th & 5th Grade Summer Ride Camp during the week of July 7-11, 2025.
4th & 5th graders need to have a well-fitting mountain bike, and front or full suspension and disc brakes is highly recommended. Tubeless tires with sealant are also highly recommended.
Riders should be comfortable climbing and descending both paved and dirt surfaces. They should have experience on dirt trails and the ability to navigate beginner mountain bike features like small rocks, roots, erosion ditches, and loose surfaces typically found on the cross country trails in our area. Positive, multi-season experience at the Folsom Grom Series would be suitable experience, and/or experience riding local or other NorCal trails and parks. Riders should be prepared for 1-2 hours of riding at a time with multiple stops.
Subject to change based on activity availability and weather.
