2026 1-Day Camps
Building Community, Confidence & Stewardship Across Pennsylvania
This spring and summer, PICL brought student-athletes, coaches, and volunteers together across PA through our Girls Riding Together (GRiT) and Teen Trail Corps (TTC) 1-Day Camps. From learning new skills on the bike to giving back on the trails we love, these one-day experiences helped strengthen our community while introducing new riders to everything PICL has to offer.
Girls Riding Together (GRiT)
Our GRiT 1-Day Camps welcomed 72 returning and prospective female student-athletes alongside 59 coaches for a day filled with mountain bike skills, games, mentoring, and adventure.
Participants built confidence, formed new friendships, developed their riding abilities, and encouraged more girls to discover a lifelong passion for mountain biking and the outdoors. Whether it was someone's first time on the trail or another step in their cycling journey, every rider left knowing they belong in our community.
The four different days were held in Camp Kirchenwald (Colebrook, PA), Alameda Park (Butler, PA), Smedley Park (Springfield, PA) and Frick Park (Pittsburgh, PA).
Teen Trail Corps (TTC)
Our TTC 1-Day Camps combined riding with stewardship, bringing together 58 PICL student-athletes and 44 NICA coaches and adult volunteers for hands-on trail work, skills development, education, and riding.
Participants contributed more than 306 hours of trail stewardship, learning sustainable trail-building techniques while helping care for Pennsylvania's public trails. Beyond the work accomplished, participants gained a deeper understanding of how healthy trails are built and maintained, and how each of us can play a role in protecting the places we ride.

There's still one opportunity to be part of the fun this season!
Our final TTC 1-Day Camp takes place on July 22. Whether you're looking to give back, learn new trail-building skills, or spend the day riding with fellow student-athletes, we'd love to have you join us.
Thank you to every student-athlete, coach, volunteer, and trail partner who helped make this year's GRiT and TTC 1-Day Camps such a success. Together, we're building stronger riders, stronger communities, and stronger trails throughout Pennsylvania.
