The Girls First Hockey Half Day Camp is built for girls who want to grow their confidence, skills, and love of the game in a positive, girls-first environment. This camp blends on-ice development, off-ice training, and classroom learning to help athletes become stronger skaters, smarter players, and more resilient teammates.
Every day follows the Alpha Era model of Empowerment, Resilience, and Action. Girls will be challenged to try new skills, support one another, and take pride in their progress. Our coaching focuses on creating confident athletes first, great hockey players second. This camp is ideal for house league and rep players who want focused development over the March Break while having fun in a team-first atmosphere.
