*NEW* Devo Science Summer Camps

For 2025 we are excited to reintroduce a classic Devo summer camp experience — Devo’s in-house Science Camps! This year’s camp will be coached and led by veteran educators and coaches, who have a passion for science and all things bikes! We will investigate a wide range of cycling related disciplines such as: physics and simple machines, hydraulics, exercise science and physiology, ecology and soil science. Campers will experience classic DEVO trail rides in the morning followed by engaging hands-on investigations and experiences in the afternoon. Come join us as we explore the world around us on and off the bike, and share a lot of fun with new friends along the way!

Note: These camps will offer an experience directly comparable to what we’ve offered in our Powerhouse Camps in recent years.

Requirements

Kids must ride a pedal bike independently (no training wheels) and must be confident riding on single-track dirt trails. Bikes with hand brakes and gears are highly encouraged (no coaster brakes, please). Wheel size is not a factor at this age as long as the bike fits the rider.

Goals

The main goals of our Science Summer Camps are to build team camaraderie and expand a rider’s curiosity and excitement for the world, both on and off the bike! Devo Coaches will teach basic skills of shifting, braking, climbing, and descending, reinforce trail etiquette, and encourage proper balance on two wheels standing out of the saddle with level pedals. Int he science portion of these camps, we will teach innovative and hands-on science-based activities.

Parent Participation

Parents should not attend practices. At this age, 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. We allow up to 20 riders per camp. Each week must have at least 10 registrants in order to run. View our course catalogs for scheduling details.

What to Bring
  • Pedal bike with no training wheels and hand brakes (no coaster brakes, please). Hand brakes are highly recommended.
  • Helmet
  • Close-toed shoes
  • A backpack that your rider can easily carry with water and a healthy snack.
  • A pack lunch
