DCR Signature Series Camps
At Dirt Camp Racing, our Pro and Elite athletes have an exceptionally deep level of experience racing and training off-road. Running plenty of training camps each year provides a great opportunity for them to pass their hard-earned expertise on to our Junior and U23 riders. We are all about developing the culture, knowledge, mindset, skills, and day to day habits that allow our riders to be happy and successful on the bike for a long time. It is an important part of how we operate as a professional team and now we are making that available to you with our Signature Series Camps.

A DCR Signature Series Blue Camp is modeled after a factory team training camp. “Blue” reminds us that there is absolutely a blue collar mindset about training at these camps, but with services and amenities that only salaried pro riders would expect.
-DCR team staff will provide professional coaching throughout the experience. Coaches will be working with riders on skills, training strategy, nutrition, gear prep, trailside repair, and any other topics that may arise.
-All routes will be prepared and led by DCR team staff based on the ability level and goals of the group.
-A chef will provide breakfast and dinner every day, with lunch provided when scheduling allows. Meals will be catered to both the nutritional needs of the group and the day’s training schedule. A menu will be provided each morning detailing what will be offered.
-A mechanic will service all bikes before and after every ride.
-Sponsored team nutrition will be available at the beginning of each day.
-Lodging will provide each client with their own queen or king bed, full kitchen and common space, parking for personal vehicles, and plenty of bike and gear storage. We will normally be in a location where we can ride straight from the house for many of the routes.
-Some services/amenities that would generally only be a part of White or Gold Camps will be offered as optional add-ons as available.

A DCR Signature Series White Level Camp offers next-level, performance-oriented personalization. You’re not just getting top notch training and a memorable experience out of this…you’re setting up your whole season and learning things that will make you better forever. This camp is modeled after what factory teams are doing at the beginning of a new season to get riders ready to meet their goals.
-Performance testing such as lactate, sweat measurement, VO2, and various power analyses are offered.
-Every rider will get the opportunity to sit down with a coach and set up their training plan for 3-6 months. This meeting is similar to what we do with athletes at the beginning of a season. You’ll leave camp with a strategy to attack training for your next big goal.
-On-the-bike nutrition consults will be available for all riders. Sit down with a coach and talk about strategies for effective nutrition in training and racing.
-Bike fits are offered with a professional fitter. We’ll work with you to determine whether this is best accomplished at the beginning or end of camp.
-One on one skills sessions are available, during rides or separate from the day’s route.
-Optional educational topics will be covered in the morning by a DCR coach or mechanic.
-Grab and go pre-filled bottles and nutrition available before every ride. Our team car will intercept at key points in longer rides with on-the-bike nutrition and lunch/snacks.
-DCR Sponsor reps will be present to get athletes an inside look at their products…bikes, gear, nutrition, etc.
-Some services/amenities that would generally only be a part of Gold Camps will be offered as optional add-ons as available.

A DCR Signature Series Gold Level Camp is a bucket list experience. We don’t offer these very often. It is a combination of an iconic riding destination, epic lodging, and lavish services. When a top World Tour rider goes on camp in Tenerife, this is how they are doing it. With that in mind, it is still all about getting some big training rides in, but in a way that only a handful of cyclists will ever experience. In addition to what is offered in the Blue and White camps, you’ll experience:
-A destination that is beyond exceptional. Cyclists dream of riding these routes.
-The lodging could have been featured on MTV Cribs.
-There’s a PT and/or massage therapist on retainer before and after rides.
-Each route is fully accompanied by a team car with mechanic and nutrition.
-Three meals a day are prepared by a professional chef, with lunch supplied via the team car.
-Elite professional riders from DCR and other teams are there with the group, making appearances or riding the whole camp with us.
-Sponsors and guest speakers will be making appearances.
