The ATV Rider's course is a hands-on 5 1/2 to 7 hour training program operated by Canada Safety Council certified instructors http://www.safety-council.org/info/sport/atv.html.

On a closed course and under constant supervision the rider will learn about and practice techniques for the safe operation of ATV’s. Class sizes are limited in order to provide each student with personal attention and a safe learning environment.

The curriculum, which is based on field-tested techniques, provides a fun and orderly way to learn proper ATV operation. The rider learns about controls, reading terrain, turning, climbing hills and crossing obstacles. The majority of the lessons require the student to be operating the machine, so come prepared to ride.

Special courses can be arranged for clubs, organizations, birthday parties and other groups. Call to set up a course for your group.
