Are you still looking for something for your kids to do this summer? If so you may want to consider sending them to mountain bike camp. The camp is run out of the Morristown-Beard School by myself @SpartaBard and @Robin and we travel to parks anywhere within an hour of Morristown. Here is the weblink. If you are interested and have questions feel free to touch base with either of us.

We run two different camps:

Beginner Mountain Bike Camp (week of 6/29-7/3) :
With an emphasis on Mountain Biking, this camp for boys and girls ages 9 and up offers attentive instruction and a low camper-to-counselor ratio. Riders of all abilities will learn the basics of mountain biking and safety while making new friends and exploring great trails. Campers should have some experience riding a geared bicycle. We will introduce trail etiquette and bike maintenance and basic trail riding skills to the campers. We will be riding approximately 8-10 miles each day.

Regular Mountain Bike Camp:
Four weekly sessions, weeks of
  • 7/6-7/10
  • 7/13-7/17
  • 7/20-7/24
  • 7/27-7/31
With an emphasis on Mountain Biking, this camp for boys and girls ages 10-14, will include riding approximately 10-15 miles each day at challenging off-road locations. The pace and activities will be based upon the skill level of the riders. Campers should have some experience at riding a Mountain Bike but are also looking to improve their overall handling skills, trail etiquette, bike maintenance and trail riding skills.

We typically go to the following parks and mix in a few others:
Lewis Morris County Park
Six Mile Reservoir Site
Allaire State Park
Kittatinny Valley State Park
Hartshorne County Park
Jacobsburg State Park
Stephens State Park/Deer Park

A typical day starts off by meeting at the school, throwing the kids in a bus and the bikes in a van and traveling to a park. We ride around/practice skills for the morning, eat lunch and ride around in the afternoon.
 
this is really cool that you guys do this year after year, you get a lot of repeat kids too?

Absolutely, we have some kids that sign up for one week at the beginning and then sign up for the rest of the summer. You may have to call out sick one day and meet us at Six Mile this summer.

my only question: how do I get a job doing this and do you need any help?
This is one of my dream jobs. Or I would do it for free if I didnt have to work (winning lottery ticket anyone?)
