Okanagan Hockey Camps

The Meal Plan provides lunch, snack and hydration during the camp week. This service is setup strictly as a convenience for parents, not a revenue generator. Meal Plan foods vary between camp locations. You can expect healthy/light snack options, and high carb/high protein lunch entrees with healthy sides. Hydration can include water, juice, Gatorade, milk. Food consists of high carb/high protein. Camp schedules allow for designated lunch/snack/hydration time. All participants eat as a group, whether the Meal Plan has been purchased, or lunch is brought from home. The Meal Plan can be added during your registration, or purchased during player check-in at camp.

No, your player can not move up to the next age group. We strive to satisfy 100% of our participating families. All of our camps and programs are designed specifically for the allotted age groups and camp formats. In order to execute our programs as intended, we must maintain appropriate age groups. You would not be happy if your 12-year-old registered for an 11-12 camp, only to find out there are nine-year-olds in the camp. Exception: OHG reserves the right to find the best camp fit for our participants. After the first day in camp, if you feel your player is too strong for the camp, go see the camp co-ordinator directly (introduced during welcome orientation). We can set-up an evaluation, and if approved by OHG, find a better camp fit.

All summer camps start on Sunday and end on Friday (Learn to Play is half day, Monday – Friday). Sunday begins with a morning player check-in around 8-10am. Monday through Friday are five full days of fully supervised camp beginning anywhere from 7-9am and running as late as 4-6pm. Times can vary based on location. If travelling from far away via vehicle or flight, we strongly suggest arriving and departing on Saturday.

Yes, all of our camps are fully supervised. Parents are able to “drop and go” following the outlined counsellor check-in/ check-out procedure. Our counsellors are with the camp groups and supervising throughout the entire camp day. They are ready to help with skates and equipment.
