Kids love bike camp! (And so does Coach Sam!)

The Matthew Mark Foundation

This local nonprofit organization believes that “mountain biking can bring transformational change to both individuals and communities” and is “committed to providing affordable and accessible mountain bike coaching and mentorship”.

You can help make this impactful programming possible while you experience five-star tours and lessons from The Matthew Mark Foundation in the Mountain Bike Capital of the World. The jump jams with small to large airbag landers are a local favorite and the community loves the variety of clinics. They offer clinics to folks who are hesitant to get their wheels off the ground, as well as stylish shredders looking to add some more whips and tricks to their skillset — and even clinics for the ladies!
