Frequently Asked Questions
Bike Camps
General Information
Our camps always prioritize consistent outdoor activity, skill development through engaging instruction, and genuine enjoyment in a safe setting for all participants.
Bike camps operate from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Check-in is from 8:30 to 9 a.m. after complimentary before care from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Check-out is from 4 to 4:30 p.m. and complimentary aftercare is from 4:30 to 5 p.m.
Bike camps will take place outdoors as much as possible. In the event of rain or unseasonably warm temperatures, bike camps will continue outdoors if instructors still consider it safe to do so. In the event of smoke, the air quality index will be monitored to mitigate risk. Also, increased breaks and decreased intensity will be implemented.
Bikes and helmets can be rented on a daily basis for a fee (coming soon).
Our bike camps comprise of either six or eight instructors for every participant. Also, WinSport’s outstanding volunteers are utilized to provide instructor support throughout.
Health and Safety
First-aid and CPR certifications are required for all instructors, along with proof of a completed background check.
If heat warnings are in effect or lightning is in the area, bike camps will be moved indoors to shelter from the elements. Modified camp activities will then resume there until it is deemed safe to return outdoors.
Skills and Learning
Instructors will work with each participant to meet the stated goals of their specific level. Also, an ability assessment for each participant will be conducted on the first day of their bike camp and make every effort to accommodate a change to a different level if deemed beneficial. All levels may be repeated multiple times to help build a solid foundation and allow your child to develop their skills at their own pace in a safe learning environment.
Based on the specialized instruction and intended outcomes, all of our camps are intentionally designed for the age range provided. The experience for all participants will be optimized by adhering to these parameters. However, registration is still permitted for older children, and younger children who will enter the age range provided within 60 days of registration may also register. In either scenario, registration must be completed by calling 403-247-5452 as the online system will not permit age exceptions.
Schedule and Structure
Please inform an instructor if you anticipate a delayed arrival. Upon your arrival, an instructor should still be located at the check-in location to help direct your child to their camp. If an instructor is not present, please call the Sport Leadership office at 403-247-5403 for assistance.
All WinSport camps are intentionally designed to be highly active. Physical, social, and/or mental engagement will be targeted to maximize learning and fun. Nonetheless, physical rest periods will be provided throughout.
