Day 1 – July 19, 2010
What a great start to camp this year!We want to welcome all of our new campers this year and our returning campers as well. The Blackhawks started the day on the ice with skills testing. Testing will continue for all groups again on Friday; all results will be sent home on the ATP report card. The Flyers started of with hockey tactics, followed by an ice session of skills testing. Our oldest group, the Penguins had a great game of touch football, fitness with coach Mike and their first ice session. All three groups have 2 ice sessions each day, 1 1/2 hours each. All of the kids worked hard, participated with enthusiasm and met new friends. Tomorrow we will present our first Leadership award to one camper in each group. Dave McNeill of Hanbridge and Bowmann has graciously donated 5 gift certificates to SportChek for $25 each. There will be other awards as well to be won for those campers that display good sportsmanship, hard work, and support others in the group. We have a fantastic group of kids at camp and look forward to a week full of fun and of course, hard work!! Enjoy the Day 1 pictures found in the Gallery.

A Final Note..
Wow! Hard to believe that the camp is finished for another year and the summer will now move on towards another hockey season. There were a great deal of highlights over the course of the week and hope that you take the time to look through the posted pictures to remind you of your favourites. As always, the camp focused on hockey fundamentals in our on and off ice programs and includes an emphasis on leadership and team training. Our coaches covered a broad range of topics from attitude to nutrition and even touched on power play and penalty kill theory. On ice it was business as usual as we tried to keep everyone moving with a steady dose of skills, team play, and, of course….fun! Each year we try to introduce new elements to our camp that will better serve your hockey needs and make the camp more rewarding. This year we included a report card to go with our testing program and developed a power skating circuit that could build and reinforce good skating technique in each of the major areas on a daily basis. This varies from traditional power skating instruction which involves teaching and drilling a skill, only to move on to a different skill on each subsequent day, leaving little time for review. The third addition is this website which we hope you enjoy as much as we have enjoyed its creation. We would also like to thank our staff for their effort and dedication to the same philosophies and goals that we feel makes this camp a success and I can tell you they have as much fun as the campers. It was a great week and I want to thank all of you for taking part and working so hard. Don’t be a stranger this season as we cross paths in various arenas and we look forward to having you back next year!
All the best,
Rob & Audrey Lee
