G4H CAMPS
G4H is pleased to offer several camp options throughout the year. Camps are typically several hours each day and include off-ice activities the supplement your players growth and development both on and off the ice. See below for our upcoming camp offerings. More may be added as spring/summer approaches.

Learn to Skate & Play Camp Equipment Requirements:
Though we typically require full equipment for our programs, learn to skate & play is an exception. Full equipment is certainly preferred, but only the following is required: Players should come to the rink with skates (hockey style skates preferred as "starts" are different in figure vs. hockey skates) and a hockey helmet (bike and ski are acceptable, but helmets with a cage preferred). If you do not have access to skates, please contact us as we may be able to rent you skates from the rink. Players will also be required to wear gloves (hockey or ski gloves acceptable), knee pads (hockey or bike/skateboard are acceptable) and elbow pads (hockey or bike/skateboard are acceptable). If you have a stick, please also plan to bring one. We will have extras on hand if you do not have access. If you have questions about the equipment required or need help accessing equipment for this program, please contact us. We are happy to assist.
Any questions or concerns can be directed to info@girls4hockey.com.

G4H Summer Camp includes 2 hours of ice per day with campers grouped by age and skill level (sometimes on different ice times depending on camp size). On-ice hour 1 will focus on skill development, with hour 2 focused on competition (small area games, full-ice games, races, etc.). Goalies welcome (goalie coach available at skills sessions). Players are placed on teams throughout the week as they vie for the coveted G4H Cup. Teams will earn points throughout the week for the cup and will end the week with a full-ice game that will determine the week's winning team. Between ice sessions, players will participate in dryland training and team competitions. They will also work on team building, leadership development, and mental skills with our coaching staff and guest speakers throughout the week.
