ABOUT OUR
CAMPS
|
Established
in 1977, and annually attracting participants from around
the globe, Roger Neilson's Hockey Camp is considered one
of the preeminent hockey & summer camp destinations in
the world. Regular co-ed Camp
Programs cater to participants ranging from 6 to 16
years of age, while specialized programs include an Adult Skills Clinic
geared towards beginner and
intermediate players over the ages of 18.
Our mandate at RNHC is to
ensure that campers go home having improved their on-ice
skills, while having fun doing so. Quite simply, we
provide much more than a hockey experience. Our goal at
RNHC is to allow children to interact enjoyably in an
environment that would allow them to be successful and
enjoy participation at their own level - novice or expert.
We provide a caring and sharing environment with strong
teaching and learning components.
We're fortunate to have a very dedicated and
close-knit staff, many of whom have been part of the RNHC
team from the very beginning! It is a 'family' environment
and a warm atmosphere that keep both campers & staff
returning. For many, it is a virtual homecoming each
summer - as witnessed by the many guest pros that return
each year. Collectively, our staff has the tremendous
honour and responsibility of carrying on the 'Roger
Neilson' tradition.
