Sports Camps

The majority of the 2026 summer camp schedule is now live in your NHA/DaySmart account!  All of your favourites plus a couple of new options are all there.  Here is a quick snapshot of the calendar – all day camps are from 8:30-3:30 unless specified as a mini-camp which are typically 2 hours throughout the day.

NHL Skills Camp – this is a twist on our popular Stars camp that we’ve run in the past.  Instead of the focus being on meeting NHLers we are upping the focus on training and development.  We will still be visited by the likes of Nick and Marcus Foligno, Andrew Desjardins, and Zach Stortini, the stars of this camp will be NHL skill coaches like Dwayne Blais of the Detroit Red Wings and Mike King of the Ottawa Senators and the gold medal winning USA hockey team.
