Motorcycle Training

Courses run Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Arrive by 8:30 AM for morning sessions or by 12:45 PM for afternoon sessions.

Groups are organized by age, experience level, and ATV or dirt bike preference. We provide the right bike for your size and skill, and you can ride alongside friends and family if you are at similar experience levels.

All sessions include hands-on training plus a scenic trail ride – rain or shine! Excludes kids’ 30-minute programs.

No experience is required for beginner courses, and riders must be at least 6 years old—appropriate bikes and gear are provided. Participants (or parents) must complete an online waiver before arrival.

All safety gear is supplied, but please dress for the weather and the adventure. It’s important to arrive on time, as sessions run on a tight schedule.

We ride rain or shine, and water is provided. We also welcome a donation, with all proceeds going to our favourite charity, Hospice Simcoe. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen and snacks.

Our off-road motorcycle course provides hands-on riding experience in a small group setting, covering everything from proper helmet and protective gear use—including boots, pads, and rain gear—to fundamental riding techniques and trail safety.

You’ll receive personalized coaching tailored to your experience level, with interactive skills lessons in our custom training area to build confidence and control.

The tour also includes guided trail rides through scenic farm and forest paths, real-time feedback for skill development, and practical tips from friendly instructors who ensure every session is safe, supportive, and fun.

A $1,000 damage deposit (processed as an authorization) is required on the day of your booking, cleared at the end of your session. This covers any potential damages during the ride, but normal wear and tear is not charged. Optional damage insurance is available for Dirt Bikes.
