This pre-registration window is open for existing 2021 CB Devo Summer Programming participants ONLY. Please review our SUMMER REGISTRATION PROCESS for more information.
New applications for 2022 CB Devo Summer Programming will be accepted during these two weeks. Before submitting an application, you must first complete our new user registration from our website. After completing this step, you can login to your account and complete the NEW ATHLETE APPLICATION FORM.
Please note that you will not be able to complete registration until you have been notified that your child has been accepted into CB Devo programming. Your athlete status will remain “pending” until changed by admin to “approved”. All applicants will be notified by email of their athlete status no later than April 1, 2022.
We have many factors to consider as we determine the number of participants our program can sustainably serve. Coach availability, safe coach to rider ratios, transportation, US Forest Service user days are just a few of these limiting factors. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we navigate this process.
All 2022 CB Devo Summer Programming Registration is now CLOSED, this includes the pre-registration window for existing athletes as well as new athlete applications. Any applications received after this deadline will unfortunately not be considered as the online application will be disabled on this date.
All 2022 CB Devo Summer Programming applicants will be notified by email no later than April 1, 2022 with their athlete approval status. With the increase in demand these last two seasons, we will likely be unable to fulfill the need in the valley for programming. Please know that we do our best to accept as many riders as possible while still holding on tightly to our goals and objectives around safety and progression.
All 2022 CB Devo Summer Programming participants must complete the Secure Your Spot step of our registration process before this date. For more information, please review our SUMMER ATHLETE REGISTRATION PROCESS.
If your plans change and your child will no longer be participating in CB Devo Summer Programming, this $50 will be retained as an administrative fee to find another qualified participant on our waiting list. For all others, you will be able to deduct this $50 from your registration by entering the coupon code “50back2022” at checkout.
