The countdown is on until schools out and summer holidays start!

That means WORD Summer Holiday Camps are coming up too! Bookings are now open, so check out the schedule below and sign up for some biking adventure these holidays.


Thank you for your WORD hoody orders! You’re going to look so cool. They are with the printers and we are expecting the Christchurch ones in early December. We’ll let you know when and where to collect your goodies.

January Holiday Camps!!


WORD camps are the best part of the school holidays! Each camp we will ride, learn and giggle...heaps!

There's a variety of camps on offer, so check out the age groups below to see which ones would be the most fun for your young person. All WORD camps are open to kids of all MTB skill abilities. We split into groups, so we can ride with mates of similar radness.

Places are limited, so get in quick!


If you're new to WORD camps, check out our website for how our holiday camps roll.

Dirt Soul & Lols

We’re pretty excited about this collaboration. At WORD we believe in the power of bikes and adventure to transform lives. That's why we're excited to team up with The Indy Project to bring you the Dirt, Soul & LOLs Surf + Ride Holiday Camp in Ōtautahi!


Thanks to the generous support of the Sport Canterbury Active Aotearoa Tū Manawa fund, we're able to eliminate activity fees for those who need it and provide essential equipment. We're committed to making this experience inclusive and accessible for everyone.


This programme is offered to 10-14 year old girls and young women.

Check out the event details on our website for more.

Got an extra bike hanging around?

If you or anyone you know has a spare XS or Small frame adult bike hanging about, we’d love to take it off your hands and pass it on.

Let us know if you do!
