What you can expect during a typical day at Hockey Opportunity Camp varies based on the age group – but every day is filled with lots of fun!

Our four youngest campers (approx. age 7-12) sections rotate through a similar day schedule and our oldest three sections (approx. age 13-16) rotate through another similar day schedule.
