Mountain Biking Camp

• My child is on the waitlist. How likely are they to get into that camp session?
  • I would not count on it. While it does happen from time to time, it is generally unlikely. Please refer to our cancellation and waitlist policies at the bottom of this page.
• Will my child be in the same group as his or her friends?
  • If they are signed up for the same camp (Mountain Biking, Old Growth, Birch Sapling, Red Oak, etc) and the same week they will be in the same group.
• Do you perform background checks on your staff?
  • Yes. We perform annual checks on all of our camp staff through a third party which covers local, state, federal and sex offender registries.
• My child is turning _______ years old on ________. Can you make an age exception?
  • We almost never make exceptions in regards to our age groups. We have built into our camp structure a one year overlap in camps (i.e. a 9 year old could attend Sapling or Oak, and a 12 year old could attend Oak, River Shredders, or Old Growth).
• I am trying to enroll my child in a camp but I’m not seeing the enrollment options for their age group.
  • It’s most likely that the camper’s age was incorrectly listed upon enrollment. Please email us at riversidecamps@gmail.com if you run into this problem.
• Do you offer extended day programming?
  • We have built into our schedule a flexible pick-up time between 3:30PM and 4:00PM.
• I’ve forgotten my password and when I try to reset it through the website I am not receiving any emails.
  • Most likely, the email you used to initially register your account is no longer current. Your email address is like a user name in our system so if that changes we need to be notified to change that on our end. If you can think of what email you initially received our confirmations from, that is the account to sign in on and book for the summer.
• Do you have a Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program?
  • Yes! 16-17 year olds are welcome to apply as CITs for the 2023 camp season starting in January. Our CITs volunteer at our Sapling, Oak, Earth Heroes, and Mountain Biking camp for 2 weeks during the summer (preferably consecutive, Mon-Fri). They function as counselors and role models for the kids, are directly mentored by our experienced staff, and learn both technical and transferable skills in the education and outdoor recreation fields. If all goes well, they receive stellar references from us and are invited to apply to work with us as counselors once they turn 18.

**Cancellation/Refund Policy: All payments are non-refundable. Exceptions made at the discretion of our staff. If we are able to fill your camper’s spot through the waitlist, we will refund you all but a $35 per instance processing fee. See our waitlist policy below.**

** Wait List Policy: If we are filling spaces in a camp more than 1 month out from the start of that camp week, we will call one family at a time from the wait list on a first-to-sign-up basis and give them 48 hrs to accept the spot. After 48 hrs we will call the next family on the list.  If we are calling within a month of a camp session, we will call everyone on the wait list concurrently and follow a first-to-respond policy.**
