Program Description

Vermont summers are the BEST! They may be short but there is so much fun to be packed in! Kids are trying to soak up as much time and fun outside as they can. What's a great way to keep kids outside and the fun and giggles going? The Little Bellas Williston Weekly Program!

This program is geared for ages 7-13. We can't wait for Sundays!

This Little Bellas Williston Weekly Program was the very first Little Bellas program and has been running since 2007. This was the place where we saw the positive and confidence building impact mountain biking, mixed with fun, could have on young girls. The program is open to all abilities and meets five select Sundays at Catamount Family Center throughout the middle to late summer. Our goal is to create an environment where learning mountain bike skills, building confidence, and growing the camaraderie among young girls is centered around having fun. Whether it's riding the pump track, racing a "slow" race, enjoying the flow of Pure Bliss, eating snacks, or working our way up to the views of The Lookout, Catamount offers the perfect mix of sweet riding and fun challenges ideal for this program.

Once a week, the girls and mentors (we don't coach, we mentor) will engage in different activities, rides, and games as a way to progress through a basic to advanced mountain biking skill set. The girls will be given healthy challenges in a friendly, fun environment. This curriculum is designed to promote camaraderie among the girls, progressive skill learning, and to perpetuate the love of mountain biking, all while having a great time! This program is for riding and fun and is not focused on competition.

Financial assistance is available if needed and we also have equipment available through our Gear Up program! Please communicate any of these needs when filling out the registration form for the program.
