Testimonials

Barb, Corey, coaches and counselors all do a great job at girl power hockey camp! Our daughter Amelia will be attending her second year there this summer and has been talking about since she left last year. The staff work the girls hard but there is a lot of play time as well. Amelia really enjoyed the shopping trip last year and meeting a lot of new friends in the dorm. Amelia’s confidence has grown since camp. She has gotten much stronger with stick handling and shooting, especially making sure she keeps her head up and shooting while skating. We really look forward to seeing the skills she takes away from camp this year. Wade and Missy Mulroy

“I was lucky enough to get into the 3-day camp, because there were so many kids wanting to attend and the week camp was full.
I learned so much in those three days, like how to shoot while skating, and had so much fun!
I also met many new friends, and am definitely going back!”

-Brekka Lang (12) – 2021 Mini Camp Attendee

My daughter Genevieve has gone to the Girls Power Hockey Camp for the last 2 summers, and I am extremely happy with the results. What I am most impressed with is that Barb, Corey & staff coaches are great teachers. There are many great skaters out there – but to know how to Teach a skill is completely different than being able to perform a skill. Besides learning and improving her skills, Genevieve also really enjoys the dorm life and the Great Outdoors with the other skaters. She has a Blast meeting new girls and making new friends from around the hockey community. Every year when I pick her up – she is already making plans for the following year with her new friends. If you are looking for a Fun, High level Girls hockey camp – look no further. Barb and Corey do a Fantastic job of teaching skills and having FUN on and off the ice.
