This camp is a collaboration between the Craftsbury Outdoor Center running program, Little Bellas (Mentoring on Mountain Bikes), and Hosmer Point Camp; combining the best of running and mountain biking instruction tailored to young women, and summer camp fun.
When this camp was introduced in 2022, everyone involved was so impressed with how much confidence was gained and how many positive relationships were formed in just a few days! This is a short camp that can make a big difference in the lives of participants. We can’t wait to do it again in 2025!
Spots fill quickly! - registration opens January 15 at 9:00 AM.
