Heartland Super Select Hockey Camps
Owner and Director Steve Jensen is pleased to offer the 2008 Heartland
Super Select Hockey Camps. These Super Select Camps will be offered to
Squirt, Pee-Wee and Bantam players. These camps are designed to provide
opportunities for players who feel they are at the top of their game and
desire world class coaching and competition. All sessions will be directed
by camp owner, Steve Jensen. During the Super Select Camps, Steve will
be placing a high emphasis on advanced North American and European development
play.
The Super select Camps are reserved for advanced level players only!
For those players applying for the Super Select Camps that are not familiar
to the Heartland staff, we will require a video-tape of your skills. To
qualify for the Super Select Camps, it will be required that each player
skates very well both forwards and backwards, handles the puck well while
skating and reads and re-acts to the play quickly and understandably. It should
be noted that these 3 guidelines and criteria must be adhered to, so that
we may insure all Super Select participants a superior program.

Mite and Dad/Mom Hockey Camps
Dads bring your skates, as you are invited to join our staff and your
son on the ice daily. It's a great way to enjoy a father and son getaway.
But, for those Dads not interested in participating in all of the Mite
scheduled, this year will be a special schedule for Dads only. The Mite
program is carefully designed to introduce the fundamental skills to players
5-8 years old. The program is built around intensive on-ice instruction
that emphasizes skating, passing, shooting and stickhandling. For those
Dads wishing to attend the camp with your son, you may do so for a fee
of $775.00. This fee covers your room, board and recreational activities
for the week.

Squirt or Pee-Wee and Dad/Mom Hockey Camps
Due to the overwhelming response to our Mite and Dad Camps, we are
now offering the same option to Squirt/Pee-Wee Moms and Dads. It's a great
week of companionship and bonding for kids and their parents. Please understand
that this is an optional program. It is not a requirement that Moms and
Dads attend with their Mites, Squirts and Pee-Wees. Mites, Squirts and
Pee-Wee players who have a desire to attend our camp without Mom or Dad
are encouraged to do so.
