About

Jr Mtb Camps started in 2011 when Riverbrook Bike and Ski in Northern WI connected Coach Brian Matter and Michigan Tech University and proposed the first Jr Mtb Camp based off of a successful Cross Country Ski camp model.

We went from a small but great group of 6 riders to now over 50 riders and 2 separate week long camps UP in Houghton.  We try to teach life skills like hard work, punctuality, and having a positive outlook through the sport of mountain biking.  Most importantly we have a blast ripping trails all day long for 4 or 5 days at a crack and make a ton of friends that’ll last a lifetime in the process.

Brian Matter grew up in southeast Michigan riding the Potowatami Trail and turned that passion into a successful career of racing at the professional level in both Mountain Bike and Cyclocross.  He has represented the USA in both disciplines at the World Championships and has competed in multiple World Cup races throughout the world. 

He started coaching full time in 2008 and now runs a successful coaching program.  His vision is to host more and more JrMtbCamps throughout the country in hopes of presenting opportunities for more kids to find the same passion he found for the bike and the sport of Mountain Biking!
