Join us for a 4-day, 3-night biking adventure in the Rocky Mountains.

Camp includes transportation from Denver, lodging, meals, and guided riding experiences alongside fellow riders.

Bike Fleet Capacity
We have a limited number of hand cycles for this camp. A staff member will contact you to be sure we have a bike that fits your needs. These hand cycles are on a first come, first serve basis. If we cannot accommodate your needs, your reservation will be refunded in full.

Caregiver & Independence Requirements
Participants should be independent in their personal care or attend with a caregiver.

If bringing a caregiver:

• Please notify NSCD at least 2 weeks in advance so lodging arrangements can be made.

If the minimum number of campers is not met 7 days prior to a camp, the camp will be canceled.
* Activities are subject to change depending on weather. Food and lodging are included.
