Parents

HOC is an excellent choice for parents looking for a traditional camp experience in beautiful Northern Ontario, with “best in class” hockey training and a variety of exciting activities for their children.

Each camp session is a minimum of one week long, making it an affordable and safe option for campers who have never attended camp before. All campers are dropped off at camp on Sunday, giving parents an opportunity to see, first hand, where their child(ren) will be spending the week. Parents will also have the opportunity to meet the many staff that will be a part of their child’s week at camp including, directors, counselors, activity and hockey instructors. For parents of hockey campers, when they pick-up their child(ren) on Saturday, they will have an opportunity to see them play a hockey scrimmage game.  (Intermediate and Senior scrimmages will take place Friday night).

Your child will be in a cabin with a total of 8 – 10 campers in it. We try and ensure that campers bunking together are all within one grade level of each other.

We provide family style, all you can eat meals prepared with highly nutritional fresh food. We can accommodate food allergies. Our Tuck Shop and kitchen also do not stock any products that contain visible nuts or nut products.

Your child will be supervised at all times by our caring and well-trained staff. Our counselors sleep in a separate room within the cabins with the campers.  Various staff members can be used as resources for your camper while at camp, giving them the confidence to address questions or concerns immediately.

The health of your child while at camp is our top priority. Parents can be assured that detailed emergency procedures are in place and qualified health professionals are on-site to quickly assess any health concerns.

Hockey Opportunity Camp supplies all equipment for camp activities, including mountain biking. Hockey campers will be required to bring all their own personal hockey gear.

After registering your child you will receive detailed checklists of everything your child will need to get ready for camp. To preview this list download the complete 2012 Getting Ready for Camp Package.

To stay in touch with your campers, we post daily photographs of camp life for you to browse and you can email your child (one-way email) while they are at camp.
