Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre

All Day Programs (Skill Development Camps)

Designed for players and goaltenders of all skill levels with the desire to improve their fundamental hockey skills.  Instruction is focused on skating, shooting, puck control, passing and receiving, and some team strategy. Please see our website for a 'typical-day' for all day registrants.  Closer to your start date you will receive an itinerary for your entire week (Monday to Friday).

Important: Selecting your camp: Our Regular day camp sessions are grouped by ages in 3 year spans.  This is to allow flexibility and and fit your child into the most appropriate skill group.  If players have limited experience we recommend that they be registered for a week where they will be amongst the oldest in the group.  Experienced, highly skilled players should be registered in a group where they would be amongst the youngest. 

Each camp includes 2.5 to 3 hours of on-ice instruction per day!   All participants are expected to bring full hockey gear, a change of clothes, water bottle, snacks, lunch and running shoes.

 

On-ice sessions include a focus on skating mechanics, puck control, shooting, passing, game situations/ strategies and small-sided games.  Our experienced staff will ensure individualized instruction for all playing levels.  This allows everyone to be challenged in a suitable developmental environment. 

 

Off-ice activities include a variety of outdoor sports, team building games and activities, trips to the UBC Aquatic Centre.   Private transportation will be used for all off-campus activities if necessary.

Price: $360 per week (Mon-Fri)

*Aug 7-10 only: $290 (Tue-Fri)

Please take advantage of our 'Hockey Lunch Program'.  Your child's day can be more complete and enriching with the addition of a nutritious lunch, plus saving you the parents the tedious task of making lunches every night.  For $40/wk, a convenient and nutritious lunch will be delivered daily (4 or 5 days). Please pick the appropriate week you are registering for. See the rotational lunch menu for 2011.  REGISTRATION FOR THE LUNCH PROGRAM MUST BE DONE ON THE THURSDAY PRIOR TO YOUR CAMP WEEK!
