ATV Rider Course

Knowing all you can about your ATV and the places you can ride is the best preparation for safe and enjoyable riding.

The ATV Rider's course is 5 ½ - 7 hour training program operated by CSC certified instructors.

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 and climbing hills.

A separate ATV Rider's Course is also available for children under the age of 14 whose parents specifically permit them to ride ATVs.

A signed consent form is required from the parent or legal guardian and they must also attend the course at all times. No child will be allowed to ride without written parental consent and without the parent or legal guardian present. An educational booklet designed specifically for parents who allow their child to ride an all-terrain vehicle is available from the CSC.
