Adventure North Hockey Camp allows only 52 players per week so that each player receives a lot of one on one and small group instruction. Players will feel part of a small hockey community where all the staff knows their name. Hockey is our main focus and we allow only 24 players and 2 goalies per 2 hour ice session. Our instructors are all experienced professional players.

Our goal is to improve each individual’s own skill level and confidence, along with increasing their hockey knowledge. Each player will receive age specific instruction on the fundamental skills of skating, shooting, puck control, passing, checking and game strategies. With NHL and Professional College and Junior A Hockey Players teaching these fundamentals, no small detail is missed, along with a few tricks of the trade to be passed along. We provide our aspiring athletes a place to develop new hockey skills and sharpen basic hockey skills.  Also there will be off ice instruction training methods and expectations geared to each child.
