The Camps will be held in conjunction with the Canada Cup series and will feature both a Western and Eastern event. The camps are targeted at Cadet and Junior athletes who will reach the junior international level in the next two years. Athletes are nominated to the program by their Provincial or Territorial cycling association. The camps will be lead by the National Mountain Bike Team Coach with the assistance of Provincial Coaches and Development Coaches from across Canada.

The camps will provide the National Team Coach with an opportunity to meet and observe Canada’s next generation of National Team mountain bike athletes. It is also a valuable opportunity for the National Team coach to work in partnership with talented coaches from across Canada.
