ADULT HOCKEY CAMPS

The Heartland Adult Camp is offered to players 18 years of age and older. Players of all skill levels are welcome into our program. We offer three skill groups to choose from: Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each group is limited to 30 skaters and two goalies. All adult campers will have the option of seven hours of ice time each day!

Novice groups will consist of low-level to intermediate players. Intermediate groups are intermediate level and low-level advanced players. The advanced group is for advanced level players only. Each group will receive 1.5 hours training sessions in the morning and the afternoon. There will be a 45 minute instructional scrimmage for each group in the evening. There will also be 3.5 hours of optional ice time every night from 8:30 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. for private lessons, specialized clinics, skill development and pickup games. We will also conduct a very comprehensive and educational classroom/video review session each day utilizing our high-tech, simultaneous video analysis system.

There will be a one-hour power shooting session each day utilizing our radar guns and electronic display modules. Optional recreational activities include swimming, water skiing, boating, fishing, mini golf, tennis and pickleball. On-ice training sessions will emphasize improving individual hockey skills including skating, passing, shooting, stick handling, etc. We will also focus on team play, as all campers will be taught effective offensive attacks, successful defensive strategies and learn from critiqued, video-taped team scrimmages.
