The mission of the Black Swamp Riders is character development applying mountain biking as a tool for that development. In this program no kids sit the bench, all the kids participate, every minute of every event. We teach life lessons through a sport, which they can continue to pursue their entire lives.

The Right Direction Developmental Youth Program
This program gives kids the opportunity to excel in something they already have an interest in.
“Action sports encourage healthy risk-taking, perseverance, and resiliency.
Hard work is necessary for success in action sports.”

Black Swamp Riders register through the Michigan Scholastic Cycling Association
