Warrior Camp is a one-of-a-kind Youth Hockey Camp designed exclusively for children from military families. This unique 4-day overnight camp focuses on building lasting friendships and enhancing hockey skills in an environment that offers a glimpse into military life.
A Taste of Military Life
Campers experience a unique setting by staying in barracks at Camp Ripley Training Center in Little Falls, MN. This provides them with a taste of their parents' military life, fostering a sense of understanding and connection.
Hockey Skills and Training
Each day, campers are transported to St. Cloud State University to hone their hockey skills and train at the prestigious Herb Brooks National Hockey Center.
The program includes ice time all four days, supplemented by strength and agility training off the ice, ensuring a comprehensive hockey development experience.
Evenings are spent back on base, where campers enjoy dinner, engaging activities, and a structured lights-out schedule.
