Ghisallo Cycling Initiative

🔥News so hot it’s fire 🔥

An opportunity for your kid to be a trailblazer, in every sense of the word. Announcing the very first Ghisallo MTB camp!

Urban Trails Youth Leadership Academy (UTYLA) is inspired by the Spanish phrase, “Ser útil” - “To Be Useful.” This camp is based on the idea that every one of us can be a resource in the community.

🚲 What: An off-road / mountain-biking-focused camp, with additional road and gravel elements incorporated as a means to access city parks and greenbelt trails.

✨ Why: The goal of this camp is to learn in-depth Urban/MTB bicycle riding and safety skills, along with the associated TX State Laws. Students will also develop an eye for trail design and a voice for trail advocacy. Bonus lesson - shred the gnar.

🗓️ When: Meets Tues-Fri, July 14-17, 9am - 12:30pm

🚲 Who: Designed and prioritized for Ages 12-16 (others may apply for consideration, but without guarantee of admission)

🛘 Where: The camp will take place at four locations over the course of four days.

💸 Cost: Camp is FREE, but we do require an official application and short essay for approval and admission.
