Heartland Hockey is a very special place on earth situated on an 164 acre campus in a beautiful & scenic setting, in the heart of Minnesota's vacation land. It is the only self-contained, privately owned hockey camp in the world. As a result of this exclusive environment, all of our camp clientele enjoy an atmosphere that is void of distractions and disturbances.

This type of tranquil surrounding enhances each camper's concentration level and also intensifies the level of everyone's awareness & appreciation for the wonderful wide variety of fun-filled recreational activities & world-class hockey instruction. We encourage your entire family to take advantage of this memorable & rewarding experience.

Personal Growth

Campers grow and learn about themselves, try new things, discover hidden talents and are taught the importance of working hard, having fun, making friends and understanding the value of strong & impressionable work ethic. Our camp experience is designed to help children mature socially, grow emotionally, expand intellectually and soar spiritually.

Daily Ice Time

We have a reputation of being very demanding physically. All campers will receive up to six hours of ice time each day. Our two hour morning session is dedicated to individual skill development and the two hour afternoon is focused on team play & group tactics. In the evening, all campers are eligible to participate in our open hockey session.

Develop Skills

At Heartland, we provide a safe and structured environment where children can interact with positive role models who listen, talk and reflect. It is through fun recreational activities and challenging training sessions that campers learn to work together, problem solve, take responsibility, develop creative thinking skills and gain confidence.
