Our 'best in class' overnight hockey + camp program is perfect for active boys and girls who want to develop their skills in hockey, while enjoying the very best of an overnight Ontario summer camp experience.
The Ideal Camper for this Program
This program is ideal for the player who wants to experience an overnight camp that specializes in combining both exceptional hockey training and traditional camp activities. Players can work hard to improve their hockey skills in a fun, encouraging environment at the arena, then come back to camp and spend time enjoying a variety of land- and water-based activities.
Evenings are spent playing group-wide games, learning new activities, or sitting around a campfire underneath the stars. Campers can bunk with any friends attending the same week, provided they are within one grade or birth year of each other (regardless of which HOC program they choose). This program offers "The Ultimate Hockey and Summer Camp Experience."
'Best in Class' Hockey Development
Our "Best In Class" hockey development program offers 10 intensive hours of ice time per week, focusing on high-tempo, multi-skill drills based on today's best practices. An exciting Saturday showcase highlighting player development for parents on check-out day (Note: Our two oldest sections, Bruins and Seniors, play on Friday night).
Each week, players are assigned to one of seven sections (age groups). Assignments are based ideally on players within each section being one grade/birth year from another. Players are further divided on the ice into one of four player ability groups (each group given a different hockey jersey colour).
This system allows friends of similar age but different skill levels to be together in the same section. In addition, whether you are a house league, AA, or AAA player, you will be challenged based on your skill level, ensuring no one is either bored or overwhelmed on the ice.
Our highly trained and dedicated instructors have the balance of quality individual hockey skill with a child-centric interest to help campers improve. Our 6:1 player-to-instructor ratio provides campers with the individual attention they need to improve.
Additional Camp Programming
In addition to hockey, campers participate daily in two chosen land- or water-based camp activities. Campers participate in these two activities either before or after hockey depending on their section's daily schedule. Each activity has a series of skill progressions taught each day, and campers work towards levels or awards within the activity. No prior experience is required for any camp activity. Our highly trained instructional staff will ensure campers are taught the necessary skills and safety measures required for individual success.
NEW: Off-Ice Skill Development
Take your training beyond the rink! Campers can now choose Off-Ice Skill Development as one of their daily activities. Sessions feature high-tempo shooting, passing, and puck handling circuits.

Staying More Than One Week?
Many of our campers who are interested in staying longer than one week enjoy combining programs at camp for the full experience. Campers like to combine one week of our Overnight Hockey Program with one week of either our Overnight Ultimate Camp or Overnight Water Ski programs.
