Everyone Rides: Foundations and bushcraft days for school classes, field trips, and homeschool groups.
An inclusive riding program built for every kind of rider, no matter their starting point.
One-on-one coaching for kids or adults learning to ride, building confidence, or refining skills.
All our coaches are GSMBC certified (Level 1 minimum). But more than that, they're people who show up because they believe in what outdoor experience does for kids and women.
Whether it's cornering technique, fire-starting, or navigating a new trail, what participants learn with us follows them home. These are skills that build confidence for life.
Ask any returning family or woman on retreat, it's the people. We build programs that create genuine connection. Many of our participants have been with us for years.
AIL partners with schools and homeschool co-ops across Kamloops and the Okanagan to deliver Everyone Rides: Foundations bike skills days and hands-on bushcraft programming, in the classroom, on school grounds, or as a field trip. Certified coaches, curriculum-friendly, and built around your group's schedule.

Wild Terrain is seven days in San Mateo built for riders: two bike parks, canyoning, and a coffee farm tour. Both are all-inclusive, women-only, and open for registration now.
Reserve Wild & Slow Reserve Wild Terrain"I have never heard her use the words bike and fun in the same sentence, so thank you, that is definitely progress."— Joslynn, AIL parent
The women's retreat in Valemount was fantastic. I gained so much more confidence on my bike and can have way more fun on it now. The instruction was great, but the best part was the people, guides and participants alike. I can't wait to see everyone again next year.
Valemount MTB RetreatM— has never been more confident on her bike than she is now, especially on hills. She's taken a few falls and just gets up and keeps riding.
Youth Bike ProgramHighly recommend! My son has done multiple programs this year. Lots of outside time, learning, hiking, skills. I can't recommend it enough!
AIL Youth ProgramsAmazing confidence-building experiences for girls. I appreciate they recognize the need for girls-only activities with women coaches, so inspiring!
