About Mountain Biking CLS: One of the more popular High Adventures in the past, and a true test for the "level II" biker. Canaan Valley & Davis County is home to some unbelievable single track and just sitting down to write this gives me a rush of memories from the sweetest trail - Plantation. Davis County is home to some of the greatest biking on the east coast. We camp on the banks of the Blackwater with daily trips to some exhausting but rewarding trails, make the return to camp so sweet. This fast paced program is perfect for the camper who has some energy to burn.

Our week takes us on a journey as individual and group, working to push oneself to the limits and further the goals of the group. Trail rides are all about the group dynamics, but allow time for personal challenges as obstacles and stretches present themselves. Constant bike maintenance and body maintenance is stressed at all times, keeping the energy optimized for maximum fun! Many alternative activities to give those legs a break, and a fun, loose atmosphere spearheaded by great leadership.
