BIKE PROGRAMMING GUIDE FOR CAMPS
THE VALUE OF BIKES AT CAMP
With over 57 million people riding bikes in North America the potential for camps to tap into the bike riding population is tremendous. Bike Parks, bike specific facilities and intentional bike programs provide progressive, controlled riding areas that allow guests of all ages and skill abilities to participate. Alpine Bike parks provides an integrated approach that includes assessment, facilities, equipment, training, program development, business modeling and an ongoing relationship.
Partnering with Alpine Bike Parks will help you bring purpose built, intentionally program driven amenities to your guests. A bike program will give your guests a skill-based recreation activity that builds confidence, communication, independence and is a ton of fun! A bike program will also increase the attractiveness of your program and facilities, increase guest retention, boost program revenues, and increase program relevance.
