Overview

Camp is half instruction and half games. Games will be played both morning and afternoon.

Better than street hockey - there are no cars in floor hockey. This program is ideal for girls and boys ages 7 to 14. Players of all size, skill level, and athletic ability are welcome. This program uses plastic sticks and tennis balls.

Camp coaches will likely be experienced, local volunteers both adults and mature teenagers.

Players registering may bring their own plastic hockey stick. Running shoe are essential, but chin guards, etc., are optional. Please no sandals or flip flops.

Rain, extreme summer heat, and camper fatigue can all lead to a video being shown at any time in our camps. Sample videos used include: Sandlot, The Big Green, Kicking and Screaming. Like Mike, A Kid In King Arthur's Court, Rebound, etc.
