What do you do at a Hockey summer camp?
Hockey camps are an excellent option for those looking to improve their skills in this sport while living a unique experience during their summer vacation, for both boys and girls.
In these camps, coaches focus on teaching game techniques, team tactics, and individual skills essential to perform at their best on the court. Aspects such as puck control, position on the ice, and strategic plays are addressed.
In addition, coaches work on the physical conditioning of the players, with sessions designed to improve their endurance, speed, agility, and strength, helping each participant reach their best level.
Group games and activities are also organized, where players can apply what they have learned, develop a healthy competitive spirit and enjoy the team atmosphere while honing their skills and having fun in such a dynamic sport.
Training to improve technique: Hockey camps reinforce all the fundamental aspects of the sport. Players practice key techniques such as stick handling, passing, puck control, defense, movement, and team plays, adapted to different game situations.
Rules Review: For beginning players, coaches conduct a basic review of the essential rules of hockey and how they apply during games, ensuring that everyone has a good understanding of how the game works.
Group dynamics and recreational activities: In addition to sports training, hockey camps include recreational activities and team dynamics that encourage collaboration and camaraderie, creating fun and memorable moments for all participants.
The camps are held in England.
Optional English classes.
Recreational summer hockey camps
Summer hockey camps offer a unique experience that combines sports practice with recreational activities, team exercises, excursions and moments of fun outdoors.
They are an excellent option for those who are taking their first steps in hockey or have an intermediate level, as they provide an environment conducive to developing technical skills, understanding the rules of the game and improving tactical performance.
Despite its apparent simplicity, hockey demands concentration and mental quickness, as players must make precise split-second decisions while maintaining control of the game.
A hockey camp is the ideal place for beginners to gain confidence on the rink, become familiar with the pace of the game, and learn to respond quickly to the various situations that arise during a game.
Key aspects of summer Hockey Recreational Camps.
- Skill-building matches: During training sessions, coaches organize matches in which they encourage players to put into practice all the skills and movements that have been presented during the camp. In addition, players are divided based on their level, so that there is no inequality in the matches.
- Personal development: Hockey camps also aim to provide players with extra-sporting training. One of the aims of these events is for the children to emerge stronger both physically and mentally, becoming better players, but also better people in the human field.
- Tactics Talks: Tactics in hockey are a fundamental pillar of the game. Coaches teach basic hockey strategies and tactics, emphasizing team play and explaining everything about ball circulation and defensive formations.
- Group dynamics: The coaches and camp staff ensure the integration of all participants. To do this, they rely on group dynamics that invite all the kids to participate and have a fun time, without thinking too much.
- Field trips and guided tours: Recreational camps have a special focus on fun. Children go on field trips, enjoy guided tours to tourist sites, university institutions or historical areas near the camp facilities.
- First class facilities: The sports facilities of the camps have all the necessary areas and implements for the practice of sports.
- Lodging: Hockey camps offer lodging to their participants, in student residences or hotels with all the comforts.
- Meals: A three-meal per day diet with a snack is provided. The diet is tailored for sports performance.
- Language classes: Parents may enroll their children in optional English classes. They are taught by native teachers and help develop the children’s communication skills by sharing with other students.

Hockey Camps in England
The first records of an official hockey club in England date back to 1862, although there is evidence that hockey was already being played, in more rudimentary forms, in various school environments, 75 years earlier.
It was not until January 18, 1886 that modern hockey was born, when seven London clubs and representatives of Trinity College, Cambridge, met to form the first Hockey Association in England.
The Premier Division, the highest category of the hockey league in England, is recognized for its high competitive level and the quality of its teams. Historic clubs such as Surbiton HC and Hampstead & Westminster HC stand out for their history and successes.
At the same time, hockey is a sport that enjoys a solid structure in formative divisions, with university and youth leagues with great popular attendance and a high competitive level.
On the international stage, England remains one of the best in Europe, even making room for the women’s team, which is also growing by leaps and bounds.
Attending a hockey summer camp in England is an enriching experience for beginners and intermediate players alike. These programs combine learning, fun and sports culture in a unique environment.
- Origin of modern hockey.

Of course, everything is done from a recreational, entertaining and fun-focused approach for the students.
Nationally certified coaches take into account the ability of the players when applying the training program.
In this way, the program has the capacity to adapt and help the children in the areas where they need it most, in an individual and personalized manner.
On the other hand, beyond the physical and sporting aspects, the program also focuses on strengthening the players’ mentality.
Nowadays, being prepared and having a good mentality when taking the field is as important as all the technical and physical aspects of the player. At the camps, players talk about sports psychology and the importance of mental hygiene in high-level players.
All of this helps children gain more self-confidence, increase their self-esteem and help them exploit their skills in the game to the fullest.
In addition, all this will also help them to improve their daily routine and face life’s adversities from a more positive and effective perspective.

Language classes
Hockey camps are complemented by optional language classes. These classes give very positive results because they take place in an ideal environment to learn a second language.
Especially in the case of these camps in England, where your child will have the opportunity to communicate with native English speakers, who will be their peers.
Of course, the classes are taught by certified teachers and professionals in this area. In addition, concepts oriented to the sports area are included, so that the learning of the language can be applied to hockey and its tactical aspects.
Lessons can last up to three hours a day, with both theoretical and practical parts. The objective is for the children to broaden their knowledge of grammar, phonetics and pronunciation of the language.
In addition, it should be emphasized that language classes do not interfere with any sporting activity.
Recreational activities and excursions
Recreational activities, field trips, excursions and group dynamics are an important part of the hockey camp experience.
From visits to historical sites in the city, walks to parks or excursions to majestic natural landscapes; the recreational plan of these camps is of an optimal level and creates unique experiences that remain in the retinas of the children for a lifetime.
Visits to amusement parks, renowned universities or other activities such as hiking can also be included.
The camp also allows students to connect with nature and leave aside their cell phones and social networks, which nowadays consume a large part of young people’s time.
Likewise, it is an opportunity to disconnect from the stress of your daily routine or school; experiencing something completely different in a new country and with classmates to meet.
