If you're looking for a full day, high energy skill development camp for your child age 7 and up, OP is for you. If you value teaching over simply time on ice. If you value individual teaching, hands on coaching and an environment where bad habits are corrected. If you value a well-rounded approach which includes dryland, multi-sport exposure and time for socialization and good ol' fashion summer fun.
