*Back for 2026!*Jr. Devo Purg Camps!

JR DEVO PURG CAMPS (AGES 9-12)

After a year off due to the bike park closure, we are stoked for Jr. Devo to once agin ride at Purg! This camp will focus on downhill, bike park riding, but some pedaling will still occur — please make sure your rider understands this camp is not 100% lift-serviced! Full face and knee pads are required and elbow pads encouraged. Transportation to and from Purgatory provided from the Rec Center. Purg lifts passes are included.


Requirements

Riders should have at least one full season of riding MTBs on blue trails. Mountain bikes with at least front suspension, disk brakes, and gears are required. Wheel size must be 24 inches or bigger. Riders should be excited to explore advanced terrain and tackle steep descents. Full-face helmets, knee pads, elbow pads, and gloves are highly encouraged.

Goals

The main goals of our Jr. Devo Purg Weeks are to introduce riders to the skills involved in downhill riding, and to enjoy some new trails and adventures with friends! Riders will work on fundamental descending and technical riding skills.

Parent Participation

Parents should not attend practices. We believe riders learn and grow most when they can attend practice without their parents!

Team Format

Each summer camp runs for 5 consecutive days (Monday – Friday). Camps are full day, from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Practices will meet at the Durango Rec Center, with transportation to Purgatory and back provided in Devo’s vans. We allow up to 12 riders per camp.
