You do not want to run out of water out in the boonies. Look into this

Zen, I don't dispute that Camelbacks can be handy, but being able to drink from a water bottle while riding is, IMO, a handy and helpful skill to have. She may not always want to ride with the Camelback. She may want to avoid having to stop just to take a drink. I tend to think, too, that it will be part and parcel of her developing better handling skills. More than anything, I'd encourage her to not tell herself--if she even is--that she just can't master it.
