OVERVIEW
A multi-day cycling experience for WTFNB (women, transwomen, femme, non-binary) riders of all ages, disciplines, and ability levels in the Catoctin Mountain Region of Maryland. Directed by Alex Forte Howell of Dirty Kitten Racing/Dirty Kitten Gravel and her crew, Cat Camp is designed specifically for those who are interested in road cycling and gravel riding with a side of mountain biking. This is an opportunity to "get away" from the hustle and bustle of daily life, spend a few days riding your bike, and meet new people. There are a variety of supported rides (road, gravel, mtb), skills clinics, and training sessions. This is a unique cycling experience you won't forget!

*We typically don't offer a one-day option because we don't feel it reflects the true purpose of Cat Camp. We want to encourage folks to participate for multiple days as we believe the full experience promotes both personal development and community-building. However, we understand that with the holiday this year, that may not be an option for some. That being said, the "Single Purrito" option is not available for Sunday.
A non-refundable $50 deposit is due upon registration. The remaining balance can be made as either 1 full payment or 2 separate payments (see payment schedule below):
