Professional coaching and personalized, technical instruction for your self-motivated rider!
Join other teen riders for a week thoughtfully designed around progression. We’ll be stationed at Tennant Park in North Bend. With a low student-to-coach ratio, we can create a custom experience that meets each rider’s current skill and comfort level. In these camps, we teach the tried-and-true Fluidride methods, which apply equally to riders of all ages and abilities.

Is this camp a good fit for my rider?
Age range: 12-17 with exceptions for younger/advanced riders. Ages 16+ are eligible for Fluidride adult classes.
Riding Level: Riders should be (at a minimum) riding at an intermediate level, and comfortable on blue trails such as the initial descent on Step It Up and the descents on Moving On at Duthie Hill. If you are unsure of your child’s riding level, we recommend signing up for a private lesson with one of our coaches before signing up for camp to ensure your child is ready.

Camp Leaders, Grant Norcross & Ethan Henshaw!
Grant started mountain biking as a teenager (over 20 years ago) and has been teaching mountain skills for over 10 years. First as a GoMTB instructor in Scotland, then later as an Evergreen Dirt Camp Coach, and now as a FIT Level 1 coach on the Fluidride crew.
He is a full-time middle school teacher and the father of a very energetic 4-year-old, so he understands how important it is to spend quality time on the trails.
Grant is a perfect fit for motivated teens who want to learn more about building a strong foundation and taking their riding to the next level.
Ethan's passion for mountain biking extends beyond racing; he thrives on sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with others. He dedicates time to coaching both adults and youth, helping them enhance their skills and find joy in the sport. Whether on rugged trails or teaching the fundamentals, Ethan believes in the power of community and aims to foster a love for mountain biking in everyone he meets. His journey from a humble racer to a competitive force showcases his commitment and drive, inspiring many along the way.
