WELCOME TO HEARTLAND HOCKEY CAMP
WE ARE THE LEADING HOCKEY CAMP IN NORTH AMERICA
Heartland Hockey Camp is the only self-contained, privately-owned ice hockey camp in the world — located in beautiful Brainerd Lakes, Minnesota. Heartland is inspired by the late Steve Jensen (2022), a former US Olympian and NHL pro who played with the Minnesota North Stars and the Los Angeles Kings. Now, it is owned and operated by Sandra Jensen.
Since 1985, we have dedicated our lives to providing hockey players with one of the most unique training facilities in the world. Our 164-acre camp features a state-of-the-art ice arena, full-sized roller rink, tennis courts, mini-golf, 52 dormitory lodging units, spacious weight-room, hockey pro shop, kitchen and 7,600 feet of private lakeshore property — among other amenities.
Here are just a few reasons why Heartland Hockey Camp is considered one of the best hockey camps in the world;
*Top Tier Coaches who have decades of experience.*Highly regarded 6:1 Campers to Coaches on-ice ratio.
*Newly constructed off-ice training center, featuring 4,464 sq. ft. of workout area.
*7,600 feet of private lakeshore property, featuring fun-filled waterfront activities.
*World-class coaching staff.

Testimonials
“Heartland Hockey Camp is a very special place to me where elite hockey meets fun. Not only did I grow as a player, but as a person as well. The values I have learned at this camp will stick with me for the rest of my life. Work hard and respect the people around you, just like Coach Steve says!” - Josh Lopina, NCAA Hockey Champion in 2021, with U of Mass.
Gianluca looks forward to his time at Heartland Hockey Camp every summer. It has been a great growth experience for him and has become our summer vacation tradition. We look forward to 2022 which will be our sixth year enjoying our time with Coach Steve and his entire staff. Heartland continues to be our first and only choice of where to go to hockey camp every summer. - Dr. Salvatore Trazzera, Owner of the NAHL National Champions, Lone Star Brahmas
"One of the best experiences I've had in my life was taking my son, Jaden, to the Heartland Hockey Camp, in Minnesota. It's a boy's dream - all mud and smells and mosquitos. But they have a great rink, for 7 days, fathers skate with their sons. You live in a dorm with them. We are going back only this year were getting a tree house" - David Boreanaz, Hollywood Actor & star of the tv show "Seal Team"
I have been coaching at Heartland Hockey Camp for over two decades and I've thoroughly enjoyed every experience. I've made many new and great friendships over the years, which has been fulfilling, but, for me, what has been most enjoyable was getting to share this experience with my daughter and son each year, ever since they were young, aspiring hockey players. HHC has impacted me and my kids in many positive ways, both on and off the ice. We cherish all of the special memories that we made at HHC! I love the energy and passion that Steve and Sandy bring to each of the many facets of the HHC experience, whether it be on the ice, in the fitness center, at the lake, at the bonfire, and even running the Heartland Mile! It's impressive to see how well HHC has expanded and improved over the years and I'm always impressed with the new experiences they add every summer to make it even better. Our family is grateful to have had HHC be an impactful and lasting part of our lives and we look forward to many new experiences in the summers to come. - Chris Brown, Head Coach of the NCAA University of Alaska-Fairbanks Hockey Team
