It will be the first camp of its kind in NSW, attracting Regional Academy of Sport athletes from across NSW.
The development camp has been made possible by a donation of $3000 from the Rotary Club of Bathurst Daybreak.
The camp will run from the day of the B2B through to the Wednesday of the following week.
Nancy Haslop of the Western Region Academy of Sport expects between 40 and 50 young cyclists will take part.
They will bring their families and their coaches with them, further boosting the Bathurst economy.
The NSW Institute of Sport will also be represented.
Bathurst mayor Gary Rush said council encouraged the Rotary Club of Bathurst Daybreak to get behind the cycling camp because it will support the development of cycling in Bathurst.
With the development of the Vale Road Bike Park, Bathurst is fast building a reputation as the cycling capital of regional NSW.
