Flanders Development Cycling is an organization focussed on taking the development of young riders through a European racing camp. Our camps are based in Oudenaarde in the Flemish region of Belgium and consists of a 32 day camp of Kermis style races. We share a house and facilities together for the month, working together for a common experience.
Our camp will run from Thursday, June 27th to Monday, July 29th. Please see deposit schedule below and contact us to register. Any housing before/after our camp dates may be negotiable for an additional fee. Space is limited and only guaranteed upon receipt of first deposit. All other inquiries are waitlisted based on eligibility and the order in which they are received.
Please use our contact form below for any questions or to start the conversation with management.
We offer options for age categories 15-16 and 17-18 boys and girls. The boys age groups race separately, often on different courses, 2-3 times per week depending on age. The girls are often combined fields with a 2-3 lap handicap for the older group. We are currently not accepting U23 riders, but are more than happy to refer all interested to an alternate program that hosts that age group. Please reach out and we can help.
Our 2024 dates are now SET!
Thursday, June 27th to Monday, July 29th
The Thursday and Monday dates are the arrival and departure dates. Arrivals and departures can vary slightly from this schedule, but by request and with parental supervision only. Early/Late arrivals and/or departures are subject to additional fees. Pickup/Drop off from BRU is included. Alternate airport transport can be arranged for a fee.
Our camp is just over 4 weeks long. Racers will participate in 2-3 races per week during this period depending on availability. They will also have time to train, ride, and do other tourist type activities during this period.
We will be based in the heart of the Flemish Region in Oudenaarde, Belgium. This historic town is the perfect home base for our racing camp as the city is large enough to have all amenities necessary, but still relatively small. It is very near many of our races and many fabled 'bergs' in the Tour of Flanders.
Belgium has race offerings separated by age group. Typical racing categories like seen in USA or Australia do not apply. Contact us with specific questions regarding ability level needed to have the best possible experience.
We typically host a very international group of athletes. Most campers are serious about racing bikes and use the camp to develop their racing ability. They may use the camp as a launching point for a professional or strong collegiate career. Our camp also provides an experience living abroad, with roommates, in an environment that cultivates personal responsibility and life skills.
