At YMCA Camp Bernie, teens can get enjoy the thrill of riding dirt bikes on our mini-bike field and throughout our property. Through a generous grant from BMW, YMCA Camp Bernie is proud to offer introductory lessons in mini-bikes, with an emphasis on fun and safety. More advanced riders will also benefit from our program as they take trail rides and learn more challenging skills.
Mini Bikes is traditionally a component of our Overnight Camp Program that can be added to a camper’s regular registration. Our instructors proceed carefully with all participants, ensuring their safety and proper use of the equipment. Camp Bernie provides helmets and equipment for use in this program.
Minibiking is a unique riding program led by experienced instructors that emphasize safety. Our program introduces campers to the maintenance and operation of minibikes, in addition to proper riding technique. We have a selection of bikes, in a variety of sizes to accommodate different age groups and skill levels.
