Location and Date

đź“Ť Emporia, Kansas

🗓 April 9–11

Emporia is legendary for gravel for a reason.

You’ll ride the terrain, learn from it, and leave stronger than you arrived.

  • WHAT THIS IS (AND ISN’T)

    This isn’t a clinic.

    It’s not a retreat.

    And it’s definitely not a race.

    This camp is about:

    • Riding gravel together
    • Building confidence through experience
    • Learning by doing
    • Supporting each other without ego
    • Showing up—even when it’s uncomfortable

    If you’ve been wanting to feel stronger, steadier, and more confident on gravel—this is for you.

  • WHO THIS IS FOR

    This camp is for women who:

    • Want to feel more confident riding gravel
    • Value riding with others
    • Are willing to try, learn, and show up
    • Don’t need to be the fastest—but want to improve

    You don’t need to be elite.

  • WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE

    Over three days in Emporia, Kansas, you’ll experience:

    • Guided gravel rides
    • Skill and confidence building on real terrain
    • Supportive coaching and ride leadership
    • Shared meals and downtime
    • Honest conversation and connection
    • A crew that notices effort

    This is about progress—not perfection.

Gravel Training Built for Women

Most gravel camps leave women guessing. Dirt Squad does it differently — with female mechanics, one-on-one nutrition planning, Flint Hills route recon, and race-day support.

Whether you’re aiming at Mid South, Flint Hills, or your first big gravel event, this camp builds confidence where it counts: fueling, mechanics, pacing, and mindset.

What happens after

Many women who attend the camp choose to continue riding with Dirt Squad afterward.

There’s no pressure.

Just an open door.

If this weekend feels like something you want more of—you’ll know.
