This 3-day camp at WinMan Trails is designed for riders with NICA or racing experience who are eager to take their skills to the next level. Limited to just 32 riders, participants will ride alongside professional mountain bikers from across the country. New for 2026 Campers will be staying at the North Lakeland Discovery Center.

Riders with racing or NICA high school mountain bike experience, and who have a passion to get better, will be a great fit for this camp. Riders will train at paces and riding levels appropriate for them, however, the camp may be intense for novice riders with 6+ hours of riding each day.

WinMan Jr. MTB Camp is led by Brian Matter who grew up in southeast Michigan riding the Potawatomi Trail. He turned that passion into a successful career of racing professionally in both Mountain Bike and Cyclocross. He’s represented the USA in both disciplines at the World Championships and has competed in multiple World Cup races throughout the world. Brian has been coaching professionally since 2008 and in 2023 partnered with WinMan to bring his Jr. MTB Camps to our trails for the first time. His vision is to provide more opportunities for kids to find the same passion he found for the bike and the sport of Mountain Biking!
