Alison and the Alison Dunlap Adventure Camps also offer one and two-day skills clinics in Colorado Springs and Denver, Colorado throughout the summer. If you just can't get a week off of work, then these shorter clinics are for you. On the first day, we will work on the basic fundamentals of mountain biking. Depending on your ability level, you can learn how to ride over a six-inch curb or jump off a four-foot ledge; it's all up to you. The second day is spent entirely on trails. We'll take the techniques you learned from day one and apply them to actual riding. This is the fun part! New with the Level I clinic this coming spring is our one day option. Our Level II clinic is two days with both skills and drills and trail riding. All of the clinics provide a yummy catered lunch, energy bars, and energy drink to all participants.

Skill Level


Level I: These clinics are designed for the person that rode a mountain bike years ago or rides on a regular basis, but lacks the confidence and technique to feel comfortable on single track. If you’re completely new to the sport and don’t know the first thing about mountain biking, then this clinic is also for you.


In the Level I clinic riders learn the basic fundamentals of riding a mountain bike. You will learn positioning, balance, cornering, braking, shifting, mounting and dismounting your bike; riding up and down curbs; climbing and descending, and how to negotiate switchbacks.
