Mountain Biking Training Events and Easter Camps for Ages 8-16 with The GAP MTB!
Glencullen Adventure Park (The GAP) is running special youth training camps and events over the Easter holidays for ages 8-16 years old.
With the scramble to book appropriate outdoor activities for kids over the school holidays, the message from organisers is to register now to avoid disappointment!
The GAP MTB Club, which is steadily becoming one of the fastest growing clubs in Ireland, have had great success in running their biannual ‘Kids Enduro’ in Glencullen, Co. Dublin since 2019. This event was the first of its kind in Ireland and following on from its success the club have decided to take a fresh approach this year for kids now switching disciplines and delving into the realm of downhill.

Each child will also receive a GAP MTB goody bag with cool contents including merchandise which is exclusive to GAP MTB Youth DH Riders.
