A good day on the bike
Kids spend most of each session riding. Coaches add short lessons when they are useful, then the group tries the skill on the trail.
The group rides loops and routes suited to the camp they chose.
Short lessons cover braking, balance, body position and trail control.
Water and snack stops are built in. The 9:30 AM–3:30 PM camps also get a proper lunch break.
The people leading the ride
Our coaches are skilled mountain bikers who ride often, are trained in first aid and know how to teach skills at the right level for each rider. All coaches also complete criminal record checks.
From check-in to final pickup, each coach leads no more than five riders—with planned routes, proper breaks and time for individual feedback.
At pickup, your coach can tell you how the day went. At the end of the camp, you’ll receive a short rider recap covering what your child practised, where they improved and what to work on next.
Arrive ready
Riders must bring their own bike and helmet. We check both before the first ride. If either is unsafe, the rider won’t be able to ride until it is fixed or replaced.

Quick answers
Trail Explorers is for independent riders building confidence off-road. Fromme Juniors, Fromme Progression and Queen Riders are for riders who already ride blue trails such as Bobsled in control. If you are unsure, tell us which trails your child currently rides and we’ll help you choose.
Coaches adjust the pace, route and challenges within each group. If the camp is not the right fit, the coach will speak with you and make the safest available plan for the rest of the camp.
It depends on the camp and the dates you choose, and the exact hours are shown with every set of dates before you book. After-school camps run 4:00–6:00 PM. Sunday camps run 10:00 AM–2:00 PM for Trail Explorers and Fromme Juniors, and 9:30 AM–3:30 PM for Fromme Progression and Queen Riders, which include a supervised lunch break.
Riders must bring their own bike and helmet. The bike must fit and have gears, working front and rear hand brakes and off-road tyres. We check both before the first ride. If either is unsafe, the rider cannot ride until it is fixed or replaced.
Both are at Kilmer Park in North Vancouver, on the south side — park on the Kilmer Road side and meet on the gravel field. Session times are shown with each set of dates on the dates above.
For weekend and school-break Fromme camps, meet at Kilmer Park on the first day, then drop off on the north side of the Mount Fromme parking lot for the remaining sessions. All after-school camps—including Trail Explorers—drop off on the north side of the Mount Fromme parking lot every session. Pickup is at Kilmer Park every session. Exact instructions for your camp are confirmed before the first ride.
Yes. Camps run rain or shine. Coaches may adjust the route or daily plan when trail and weather conditions require it. If conditions become unsafe because of extreme weather, air quality or a trail closure, we’ll contact families directly.
Tell us what coaches need to know during registration. Riders should carry and be able to access their own prescribed medication. Contact us before booking if your child may need medication assistance or another specific support so we can confirm what can be safely provided.
Tell us during registration and we’ll do our best to place them together when they choose the same camp, trail group and schedule. Group safety and riding fit come first, so placement cannot be guaranteed.
Parents are welcome to help their rider get checked in and settled at drop-off. Once the group is ready to begin, coaches need to lead the riders without adults following the camp on trail.
More than 10 days before camp, families may transfer to another available camp at no charge or receive a refund less a $35 administration fee. Cancellations received 10 days or fewer before camp are not eligible for a refund, credit or transfer. The complete policy is shown before payment.
We’ll email the approved Smartwaiver after booking. A parent or legal guardian must complete it before the rider participates. We’ll send reminders seven days and 72 hours before camp. An unsigned waiver does not cancel or refund the booking, but the rider cannot ride until it is complete.
Each camp needs at least three riders to run. We’ll keep registered families updated and make the final decision 72 hours before camp. If Shore Bike Camps cancels, families can transfer to another available camp or receive a full refund.
