  • April 20 - 21, 2024

    Allegrippis Trails at Raystown Lake in Hesston, PA

  • Student-athletes $45

    Includes Saturday lunch, yummy & nutritious trail snacks, and all of the weekend's programming, as well as fun swag.

    Coaches & Volunteers $0

    Coach and non-riding adult volunteer participation in the GRiT Adventure Weekend is FREE, but there is a Saturday lunch add-on option for those who are interested.

  • Saturday’s lunch is included in the student-athlete registration. Riding and non-riding adult coaches and volunteers may add on Saturday lunch for $10 during registration.

    Plenty of nourishing trail snacks are included and will be available throughout the weekend.

    Every effort will be made to accommodate dietary preferences.

    **Participants are responsible for all other meals.

  • GRiT Adventure Weekend is open to female student-athletes in 7th - 12th grade (as of Fall 2024) in PA, DE, MD, WV and all other surrounding states. Student-athletes should have participated in at least one NICA season.

    We welcome all female coaches and adult volunteers, as well as male allies to sign up to join us.

  • GRiT Adventure Weekend is a day camp, not an overnight, sleepaway camp, thus accommodations are NOT included in your registration and should be reserved separately.

    Parents/guardians will be responsible for their student participant(s) before and after the scheduled daytime programming, as well as overnight.

    Many participants will be camping at Seven Points campground which can be reserved on the recreation.gov website. There are also many other camping and non-camping opportunities in the Raystown Lake Region, which you can learn about through the visitor's bureau website.

  • Girls, get stoked for an amazing weekend of activities, adventure and bikes! (Schedule is tentative.)

  • The Allegrippis Skills Park is located right next to our home base at Pine Shelter that offers a variety of features on it that may encourage riders to get their wheels off the ground and to perhaps reach beyond their skill sets.

    The Allegrippis Skills Park is NOT part of GRiT Adventure Weekend activities and any injuries that may occur as a result of riding within the Allegrippis Skills Park are not covered by NICA insurance. Riding in the park is at your own risk and the parents/guardians of riders assume the risk and responsibility for their riders.
