Birkie Jr Mtb Camp
August 22nd – 25th, 2026
The Northwoods of Wisconsin has a long and rich mountain biking history with races like Chequamegon Mt. Bike Festival, Fat Bike Birkie, Seeley PreFat, the Epic Bike Fest and more! We’re super excited to add to that history by partnering with professional coaches to host the first annual Birkie Jr Mtb Camp! Campers will stay 3 nights and experience all the joys of the Northwoods.
Camp Details
This camp is designed for ages 13 – 18 and will require intermediate to advanced mountain bike skills, endurance, and a quality bike! Campers will be riding 2x per day at a variety of local trails including the new Trek Trails Powered by OTM at Mt. Telemark Village, the Cable Skills Park and the old school CAMBA trails and will be accompanied by professional coaches. Campfires, summer swimming holes, and good times included! Participants will have the option to compete in the Seeley PreFat bike race on Aug 22nd – an excellent opportunity to kick things off at camp. Many of our campers and coaches will be racing!
