SUMMER CAMP @ KINGDOM
Summer Camp @ Kingdom - a week filled with epic riding in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom - is a place where student-athletes from across PA can gather, ride bikes, play in the woods, and build friendships while sharpening skills on the beautiful Kingdom Trails in Northern VT.
Participants stay in dorms and eat all meals together in the modern dining hall. The campus is ideally located just a short bike ride from “downtown” East Burke, VT, and surrounded by a network of over 100 miles of cross-country single track to explore.
Camp staff is comprised of experienced and certified NICA coaches.

We’ll be staying in the dorms at Burke Mountain Academy in East Burke, VT which is home to Olympic alpine hopefuls during the school year. We’ll be riding on the amazing Kingdom Trails.
The Kingdom Trails are well maintained, purpose built, and safely within NICA risk management confines. The trails are quintessential east coast riding and the network is vast, providing variety.
