A week at
Compass
Every camp runs Monday to Thursday. Here's how a typical week goes. Older groups ride farther and pick harder lines, but the rhythm is the same.
- Mon
Saddle up
Drop-off at 8:50 at the South Fork lot. Bikes get checked, helmets get fitted, and we roll out on the valley trails.
- Tue
Find the cache
Geocaching by bike and on foot. Campers read the map and make the navigation calls.
- Wed
River day
Swimming holes, lazy rivers and rock hopping. Water shoes with a heel strap, please.
- Thu
Forts & finale
Fort building, trail stewardship and one last big ride before pick-up.
Outside since 2007
Our mission has been the same since the first summer: get kids outside, taking safe, managed risks, and following the unbeaten path. They come home more independent than they left.
Our storySmall groups, big days
6 campers per guide
Every group is 12 campers with two Adventure Guides, so nobody gets lost in the crowd.
Routes planned ahead
Rides are scouted with water stops and geocaches built in. Guides carry water filters for the long days.
Bikes stay with us
Bring the bike on Monday. We store it at the Compass shop and hold helmets all week.

What parents say
Jessica B.
Camp parent, 3 summers
“This was the third year my daughter attended, and it was by far the best yet. Even though the weather wasn't ideal, the camp leaders made up for it with their energy, creativity, and enthusiasm. Such an amazing group of role models.”
Carlee M.
Camp parent
“This is the 'if you could only attend one camp all summer' choice of my kids. Stoke level 100.”
Erica B.
Explorer parent
“My 7 year old loved this camp, one of the few camps he's ever been sad about when it was over. The bike routes were well planned so that they had fun water spots to stop at and geocaches along the way!”

Parent questions
Yes. Campers spend a lot of time on bikes, so they need the basics. They don't need to be advanced mountain bikers or have outdoor experience. Kids of every ability level come, and everyone's skills improve over the week.
Just on Monday. We store camper bikes at the Compass shop all week, and we hold helmets too. If your camper needs a bike, ask us about a loaner.
Every camp starts and ends at the South Fork overflow lot on 142nd, just north of South Fork in North Bend. Drop-off is 8:50am. Pick-up is 3pm for Explorer and 4pm for everyone else. Please don't drop off early.
Pack a bag lunch and a snack or two. A paper sack works best, since we eat out on the trail and a lunch box is one more thing to carry all day.
We head out rain or shine. Pack layers and a rain jacket, and water shoes with a heel strap for the river days.
