Bikes, Balance, & S'more!
Founded in 2018, DC Dirt Camp aims to help students not only learn to ride, but also to gain confidence and practice resiliance; character traits that will prepare students to face life on life’s terms.
We are conveniently located about an hour from Washington, D.C. at the intersection of Interstate 66 and Interstate 81 in the scenic Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.

DC Dirt Camp is a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) sponsored and American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) chartered Dirt Bike and Adventure bike Training School in the scenic Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. We introduce both new and seasoned riders to the dirt, and will increase your skills so that you can properly and safely enjoy dirt biking or Adventure riding!
If you have never used a motorcycle clutch, or haven’t been off road, and think you might be into it, come to DC Dirt Camp and learn to let the back end loose on one of our small displacement dirt bikes. No need to buy all the gear, we provide everything you need. We have Honda CRFs ranging from 125-250cc, helmets, gloves and pads. We teach kids, adults, men and women.
Do you get anxious taking your Adventure or Dual-sport bike off tarmac? We've got classes for that too! We strongly suggest students start with our Level 3, Clutch-Capable class where we provide the dirt bike. Follow that class the following day in our BYO big bike Intro to Adventure class. We provide the terrain, the training, the support and the s'mores!
Click through the menus above to learn more or to register. We look forward to meeting you, your family, and friends!
