Important information for parents

What do you need to know?

YOUR CHILD'S SAFETY IT'S OUR PRIORITY!

The mountain routes will not be attempted until the child has the necessary competence to travel that route. Camp instructors will decide if the participant has these skills.

A beginner in our camps means a beginner on the MTB trails, but the participant must spend his bike time in the city almost every day, know the basics about the bike, have control over it on asphalt.

To understand what our camp is all about, I invite parents to watch this video.

Protective equipment is mandatory and includes: full face helmet, armor or back protector, shin guards, gloves.

During the camp days, children are constantly supervised. No activity is accepted without being accompanied by our instructors.

Waking up and sleeping times are set by the Straja Extreme Park staff, and the daily schedule is presented from the moment you arrive at the camp. The program may change depending on weather conditions.
