Heartland Hockey Camps

Located in one of the most popular and beautiful vacation areas in North America.

The Heartland Hockey Camp is situated on a 45 acre tract of wooded and gently rolling hills located just 2 miles South of Deerwood, Minnesota, adjacent to Portage Lake.

During the campers stay at Heartland, it is not rare to see a Bald Eagle flying overhead and pulling a fish from the end of your line is an everyday occurrence.

Our arena is nestled in the heart of Minnesota's Vacationland, surrounded by lakes, streams, and majestic pine trees. Our facility is conveniently located just 20 minutes from the Brainerd Airport, which offers regular daily commercial air service. Furthermore, the Heartland Hockey Camp is easily accessible to the Twin Cities, which are located 120 miles south of Deerwood. Families are encouraged to take advantage of our beautiful vacation area while participants are at camp.

Since 1985, we have dedicated ourselves to providing hockey players with one of the most unique training facilities in the world. The Heartland Hockey Camp now encompasses 80 acres with a state-of-the-art ice arena, full sized roller rink, tennis court, mini-golf, a Sport Court power shooting range, 52 dormitory lodging units, spacious weight -room, hockey pro shop, snack bar, video arcade, movie theater, one restaurant and 1800 feet of beautiful private lakeshore property.

No other camp can match the convenience of the close proximity of the ice arena to the dorms, dining room to the weight-room and roller rink to the beach. We are the only self-contained, privately owned hockey camp in the world, set in Minnesota's north woods.

Our warmth and hospitality are the ingredients that give our camp one of the finest reputations in the entire industry. At Heartland Hockey Camp we mean it when we say that we are "Dedicated to hockey excellence!"
