My son attended Heartland hockey camp (Squirt Select) first time in July 2016. We loved that camp!
We are coming to camp in 2017 and look forward for it.
Parents can hang out and watch as much or as little as they like.
My 7 year old son has attended a few camps throughout the last couple years and attended Heartland for his first time this past week for the Mite/Squirt camp. He was just a day camper since we live in the area so was dropped off each morning and picked up each night but LOOOOOVED it! He made so many friends, learned so many new skills, loved the coaches, helpers and everyone he met. He said the food was amazing, the extracurricular activities were awesome (swimming, golfing, bon fires, etc) and is already looking forward to attending again next year! We will definitely be putting this one as the frontrunner!
This is pretty laid back and well run camp. Kids have super busy schedule but so much fun! 4hours on ice daily plus additional dry land training. There is time left for some lake fun. The lake set up is great with private beach and tons of toys.
I loved the speech Steve Jensen gave to the kids on first day. The message was clear - stay safe, work hard, respect rules, coaches, campers and everybody and everything around. Steve was always at the camp and involved in camper's life and training.
Kids spent a lot of time on the lake and had a blast jumping, sliding, climbing, swimming and riding on the banana boat. Water in the lake was clean and warm.
All the staff was friendly, helpfull and chilled.
This is the place to go if you want top notch skills training and an experience your kids will never forget. The coaches are second to none. The program Coach Steve has put together is perfect. Each day, there are two two-hour ice sessions, dry land training, power shooting, workouts, and classroom time. Your kids will be videoed and will get the opportunity to see their form side-by-side with an example of perfect form on the screen. Your kids will recieve good advice for thier hockey career and for life in general. The camp facility has a dedicated weight room, power shooting range, roller rink, mini golf, and lake with all the best lake toys and boats. There is even a dedicated pontoon boat driver to take your kids fishing during thier rec times. We travel half way across the country to attend this camp and it is completely worth the effort and cost.
My grandson, Jaymeson has attended Heartland Hockey Camp for 9 years. This is the one week he looks forward to each summer. Steve is easy to communicate with via phone, text or email. He answers questions in a timely manner. The coaching staff is first rated, knowledgeable and is there to improve hockey skills, build leadership skills and provide mentorship to campers. Jaymeson has benefited each year he has attended. He has made good friends nationwide and from a few other countries he keeps in contact with throughout the years. The camp provides a structured training schedule that is balanced with fun, swimming, fishing and miniature golf to name a few other opportunities at camp. There are also opportunities for private lessons on specific skill development. I would highly recommend this camp to any parent who is looking for a well rounded, skill building experience for their child who loves the game of hockey.
Final game was really fun to watch and my son really enjoyed playing a 'real game' with introductions, announcers, lights and replays.
P.S. Do not expect a luxury accommodation. The living conditions are decent, but it is a camp (not five star hotel) in the beautiful Middle of Nowhere.
The training is very well organized. The kid's days are structured in smart way - good balance between ice / dry land time and recreational activities. The training is very intense, but majority of kids loved it and worked hard. All coaches have "breathtaking" skills and passion for hockey. No kid was left behind - all received coaches attention and help.
