FAQ - SKILL® Kids Bike Camp

The SKILL® Kids Camp in Saalbach Hinterglemm, Austria, is a mountain bike camp for children and teenagers aged 10–15. Younger and older riders may join on request. Previous bike park experience matters as well as age.

Your child needs some bike park experience and should be at least slightly advanced. The SKILL® Kids Camp is not suitable for complete beginners. For first steps in the bike park, or focused training for more experienced riders, private MTB coaching in Saalbach (page in German) is another option.

The SKILL® Kids Camp lasts three days and runs during the Whitsun and summer school holidays. Course blocks run from Sunday to Tuesday or from Wednesday to Friday. Check the Kids Camp online booking (in German) for available dates.

A day at the SKILL® Kids Camp runs from 10 am to 3 pm. It includes four hours of trail and bike park coaching in small groups, plus a lunch break. Lunchtime supervision, lunch and drinks are included in the camp.

At the SKILL® Kids Camp, children practise controlled braking, their basic riding position, cornering and appropriate behaviour in the bike park. Training includes exercises for trails, berms and obstacles. Depending on ability, riders may also work on the basics of drops and jumps. The aim is to help them ride the bike park and trails in Saalbach with greater confidence and independence.

The SKILL® Kids Camp requires a full-suspension mountain bike with a suspension fork and rear shock. A helmet, protective pads and gloves are compulsory. Your child also needs a backpack with a water bottle, rain jacket and any personal medication they need.

Choose breathable sports or cycling clothing that allows free movement and leaves room for protective pads. If the size fits, one option is the SKILL™ Tactical Trail Jersey – Cold Forge on skill.shop. This model is sold in adult sizes XS–XL, so check the size guide and your child’s fit before ordering.
