THE CLASSROOM

Gentle Lower Trails at Myra-Bellevue

Lessons take place on the lower, more forgiving trails of Myra-Bellevue (Crawford), chosen as a safe classroom where small roots, rocks and little hills become teaching tools rather than obstacles.

THE PROGRESSION

Five Weeks of Progressive Coaching

Over five weekly sessions coaches focus on the fundamental 'building blocks'—balance, steering and safe stopping—so kids leave each hour-long class with measurable gains in trail confidence.

THE GROUP

Small, Age-Appropriate Cohorts

Coaching is delivered in small groups with skill-appropriate groupings (Scouts and Shredders) to match instruction to developing abilities and keep sessions engaging for 5–7-year-olds.
