FAQ
Who is Camp Huckabuck for?
Camp Huckabuck is a Ladies Only two-wheeled campout.
Camp Huckabuck mission: Encourage & fuel the first ride or the best ride. Building female community & personal independence. Empowering & equipping riders with motorcycle & outdoor knowledge.
What the heck does Huckabuck mean?
(huk - ah – buck)
When you’re riding your bike (motorized or pedal) and you hit a piece of terrain that gets you a little out of control. "Woah I just got huckabuck through those woops!"
We’ve all been there... so why not laugh about it! The name sparked when we were first starting SurfinBerms and we were trying to come up with a ride day name, huck-a-buck was thrown around by Danika’s Dad and the crew said we have to do a “Camp Huckabuck” one day!
What does it mean by two-wheeled?
Our event core is based on riding bikes. The event has a moto track and offroad trails to ride. Ladies can also ride street/adventure bikes into the event and camp. Ladies can attend without a bike, but the event fun is mostly based on riding. You can bring your mountain bike to pedal around the pits, but there are no mountain bike designated trails (they cannot be on the moto track or offroad trails).
What type of bike do I need?
Any offroad or motocross dirt bike will be great, or ride any street bike in and camp for the weekend!
What gear do I need?
A DOT helmet must be worn at ALL TIMES on any motorcycle.
Boots, goggles, protective gear, gloves, jersey and pants are all very heavily recommended.
Hydration pack is always nice to have.
Where is the event?

That’s what these events are for, bringing ladies from all different backgrounds together. Park beside someone you don’t know, slap some high-fives, you’ll probably find a rad trail buddy!
How old do I need to be?
Friday and Saturday all individuals entering must be 18+.
Sunday is open for the whole family and all ages. Think of Sunday as a Ladies + Girls regular SurfinBerms ride! All levels, all ages Sunday!
Why is Friday and Saturday 18+?
We love all ages and all levels of riders, but there is 18+ events happening on these two days so there is no underaged participants able to be on site.
I am going to camp do I need to have a weekend ticket and a parking/camp ticket?
Camping is included in your $135 Weekend 18+ Ladies Only Ticket ($150 Cash at gate) ticket! It is still recommended to find your friends and carpool together, because thats how some fun memories are made!
I am only wanting to come one day can I just get a day pass?
Sunday is our only day you can just buy a single day for. We are renting out the full facility from Friday to Sunday so we will only be offering the two types of admissions. [$135 Weekend 18+ Ladies Only Online Ticket]
come and go any day Friday to Sunday or [$45 Sunday Only Ladies Rider Online Ticket or $35 Sunday Only Girls 14 and Under Rider Online Ticket] this is Sunday entry and riding only.
I am coming to the event but not camping, where should I stay?
No worries! Come and go as you please. Some riders that live close even went home at night! Red Deer is only 35 minutes away with lots of lodging. If you’re looking for a hotel check out the Red Deer Resort & Casino!
