Mountainboarding & Mountain Biking

Every afternoon Scouts can check out mountainboards and mountain bikes, and ride them around camp. Mountainboards are basically off-road skateboards that you can take down some of our hills. We're working on a mountain biking trail, but while it's under construction we allow bike riding on the roads in camp.  

More Info

- Bikes and boards available for check-out every afternoon

 - Adult supervision required for mountain boards

 - Please be respectful of others and ride safe!
