We would like all children to be potty trained, but we understand they may still have accidents. Please email info@combocamps.com to discuss this with us further.

No. We love teaching kids to bike! If this is their first time, they can join our balance bike group.

What sort of bike should I bring for my child?

Kiddy Combo Campo is a XC mountain bike camp. Your child will be working their way to being able to ride mountain bike trails and will want a bike that makes it safe and fun.

Ideally your child will have a bike with two hand brakes and no back pedal brakes. Children who don’t pedal independently should have either run bikes or pedal bikes with hand breaks with just the pedals removed.

Please check that your child’s bike is in good working order that their brakes work,  they can reach the brake leavers, the tyres have enough tread and the tires are pumped to an appropriate level for your child.

If you don’t have a bike, we have a partnered link with Whistler Blackcomb for bike rentals below that are 20% off!

Yes, please bring a healthy packed lunch - but no nuts (or peanut butter) as we are are nut free camp.
