Our camp staff will connect with local professional sports teams and church organizations and will be working right up until camp to secure guest speakers that parents would identify as great role models for our campers. Our guest speakers will include professional sports athletes and youth ministers from local churches. In many cases, local athletes will also lead up off-ice sports activities which give many opportunities for your camper to interact with them even more personally!
This is what sets us apart from other camps! If you have any suggestions for speakers, please don't hesitate to e-mail us with the contact information. Our camp staff will make the connection and check out the details! This is a great way to help out this camp and continually get us better connected to the hockey and church communities around us!
