Welcome to the BMW Academy's "Rider Training Programs." This enduro rider training program is called "Adventure Camp" because its an all-encom-passing adventure experience that is much more than a simple rider training class. You will definitely learn a lot about riding your motorcycle in challenging conditions, and your confidence will grow immensely, but your experience with us will entail much more than training.

This program runs from a Friday evening to Monday morning, and you will spend this time immersed in the lifestyle of "Adventure Riding". You'll enjoy the camaraderie and have the chance to learn about navigation, gear, tire choices, accessories, communication and many other aspects of Adventure Riding. Whether you're just getting started or you're an intermediate or advanced rider we have programs tailored to fit your riding interests.

Our Rider Training Program is a unique and critically-acclaimed Adventure riding school! Our primary goal is to show you how to ride the BMW GS comfortably and safely in an off-road environment.

The GS is the SUV of the enduro world and it can be intimidating if you don't have experience as an off-road rider. We will give you the experience you need to begin to explore the world..."your way."

We offer 3 different training programs, Introductory (Intro To Adventure), Intermediate (The Next Step) and Advanced training (Expedition CV).

Adventure Camp #1 "Intro to Adventure": This Class follows the curriculum taught at BMW's very own training school in Germany. We want to teach you to ride the way BMW envisions as the correct way to ride their GS. This program is for the novice "off-roader;" someone with a measure of "street experience" but little or no "off-road" experience. Many participants in this program do have some "dirt bike" experience in their past, but also recognize that handling a "big bike" off-road is much different than a light weight dirt bike. Our goal with this training is to give our customers the opportunity to "get comfortable in the dirt," and to give them the confidence to explore the logging roads and back-country tracks of the world.

Note- this is not a "beginners" dirt bike training class, we recommend that you complete a motorcycle safety foundation "rider training class" and that you have at least 3 months of general riding experience before signing up for this program.


Adventure Camp #2 "The Next Step": This program is aimed directly at riders who have completed our "Intro to Adventure" program or have at least a year of off-road experience. The curriculum is designed for those who want to begin to expand the boundaries of their riding and travel beyond the realm of logging or forest roads. We will begin to work with skills that will help the rider gain confidence for managing rougher trails. The goal is to reinforce the lessons of our introductory program, to increase the "pace," and to equip the rider with a skill set such that they can overcome virtually any obstacle encountered on a "round the world trip." This class will teach the rider a "very complete" toolbox of skills, skills that will enable the rider to conquer any foreseeable challenge.

Adventure Camp #3 "The Expedition CV.": This program is part expedition preparedness, part education and part vacation. It’s a real life adventure, on a fully loaded motorcycle and it takes place in the “real world” not the carefully crafted environment of our training school. To top the experience off… this is one cool trip as well.
