Yes! At Okanagan Hockey we believe full supervision is extremely important at all times during summer camps. Parents are able to “drop and go” following the outlined counselor check-in/ check-out procedure. Our counselors are trained leaders who lookout for each and every camper on and off the ice. Not only are they supervising throughout the entire camp day, they are more than happy to help with skates and equipment.

Learn to Play, Novice, and Atom parents are more than welcome to be in the dressing room helping prepare their players for the ice. Parents/ families are welcome to stay and view all events throughout the day, except lunch. Parents are not allowed in the lunch room.

Ice time varies depending on each camp, however it is between 1.25 hrs (Learn-To- Play) and 2.5 hrs. This allows players to experience many other important components of hockey such as conditioning, off- ice drills and team building. Please refer to the camp description for more details on the ice time for your particular camp.

All of our instructors here at Okanagan Hockey have extensive hockey backgrounds that include playing, coaching, training, and teaching.

We ask that parents register their player in the correct 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. 

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. 

Our camp descriptions page on our website outlines everything that you need to know, along with the details to help you pick the perfect camp for your child. If you have attended our camps before, we suggest that you look back at your child’s evaluation booklet, to see which camp was recommended by their coach!
