Trail & Mountain Biking
The Greater Seattle area is home to some of the most amazing mountain bike trails/parks in the country and the goal of this program is to introduce athletes and their families to the incredible resources at our disposal. Riders of all levels are welcome to join this program as we’ll plan to split into groups based on ability and experience. Most of the trails will only be 1 – 2 miles at most so beginners are welcome, while more proficient riders will have an opportunity to ride in groups on their own. We'll check out trails at places like Swan Creek, 360 Trail, Duthie Hill. Weather permitting, we’ll also try to fit in an afternoon swim/paddle. Camp is for kids ages 7+. Weekly cost is $570 per rider ($480 for 4-day weeks). Riders must be proficient at both biking and swimming (able to pass a standard swim test offered at most public pools or beaches). Bikes need to have wheels 20" in diameter or larger and knobby tread tires ~2" in width or wider (no road bikes/tires); gears and hand brakes are recommended but not required. Riders should be comfortable and proficient riding both up and downhill for at least a mile at a time and confident with braking and turning. See registration details at bottom of page.

Urban Cycling & Water Sports
The famed Burke Gilman trail is less than a half mile from the front door of Wunderkind and offers direct access via bike/foot to what seems like an endless list of parks, waterways, and other famous Seattle landmarks. Weather permitting, our cycling trips will often include destinations where we'll do some dock/rock jumping into Lake Washington, swimming, paddle boarding/kayaking/surf paddling, and now wake sports! For those interested, families will have the opportunity to join our "pre-camp" wake sports program for an additional cost (see "Pre-Camp Wakeboarding" section below for details). Camp is for ages 7+. The weekly cost per cyclist is $570. Riders must be proficient at both biking and swimming (able to pass a standard swim test offered at most public pools or beaches). Please note that we'll often go on paddling trips on Lake Washington where staying on the shore/beach is not an option so paddlers need to be comfortable with swimming/paddling in deeper water. Bikes need to have wheels at least 20" in diameter and riders need to be comfortable climbing/pedaling uphill, descending downhill, and able to pedal distances of 3 miles in a single trip and 8 - 12 miles over the course of a day. See registration details at bottom of page.

NEW! Momentum Combo
As indicated in the name, the Momentum Combo will combine all of the above programs into a single week. One day might involve urban cycling & water sports while the next could be a trail & MTB day. We might also drop the wake boat in the water to try some wakeboarding. We’ll gauge the general interest and experience levels of the group registered for that week’s program and will adapt each day’s plan based on what we’re seeing and hearing from the group. Camp is for ages 7+. The weekly cost per cyclist is $570. Riders must be proficient at both biking and swimming (able to pass a standard swim test offered at most public pools or beaches).
