A typical week has two or three race days. The boys' age groups often race separately on different courses; the girls are frequently combined fields, with the older group giving a two-to-three lap handicap. Between races there is training, bike maintenance in the house's bike room, and recovery. Breakfast and lunch come out of a stocked pantry and fridge, and dinner is a family meal cooked and eaten together.

The base is Oudenaarde, a historic town in the heart of the Flemish region. It is big enough to have everything you need and small enough to get around easily, and it sits close to many of the races and to the cobbled climbs that made the Tour of Flanders. A day trip to Brugge or another city is part of the programme, and depending on team selection there may be interclub races as well.

The camp runs 32 days, with arrivals and departures on the Thursday and Monday at either end. Two tentative 2027 windows are offered: 24 June to 26 July, or 1 July to 2 August. Airport pickup and drop-off at Brussels Airport (BRU) is included; other airports can be arranged for an extra fee.

What separates this from a generic cycling holiday is the racing itself. You are entered in real Belgian kermis races, licensed and transported there, rather than riding sportives or training routes. Most campers are serious about racing and use the month to develop, sometimes as a step toward a professional or strong collegiate career.

The group is deliberately international, and the shared house is part of the point: roommates, chores, a common schedule and a month of living abroad. The camp describes this as building personal responsibility and life skills alongside racing ability. Parents should note that early or late arrivals and departures are possible by request and with parental supervision only, and carry additional fees.
