SUMMER CAMP FAQ’s

How does the Elite Skating Camp differ from Power Skating at the Rep Prep Camps in August?

The Elite Skating Program is just that - SKATING. With smaller class sizes, sessions are technical and progression based. There is a limited "conditioning" component to the Elite Skating Camp as the main focus is on individually breaking down skating weaknesses and correcting them. As the week progresses so does the intensity of on-ice sessions. Players should be in good athletic condition before attending the camp.

 

My son/daughter is really advanced for his age. Can he move up a group?

We have a strict policy in having players skate above their own age group. The majority of our camps focus heavily on the individual skill of skating. Therefore, players can develop and skate at their own pace within their own age group. We find moving players to a higher age group actually hinders their development as they spend a majority of the class trying to “keep up” rather then “developing” proper skating mechanics and general hockey skills..

 

Do you have to be a Rep Player to attend the Elite Skating Camp?
No, however, the elite skating program is an intense week long program that advances rapidly. Students should be sound skaters before attending the camp. Players Bantam aged and up should be in good athletic condition before attending the camp. 

 

Where can I get a full schedule for the camp?
Camp schedules are emailed to participants at least 2 weeks prior to camp.


Are goalies present at the Rep Prep Camp?

Yes, we do our best to insure each skills portion of the camp have goalies present.
