Aurora Elite Boys Hockey Camps

Tara’s Elite Boys Summer Camp is designed for players competing at the A, AA and AAA levels. Players should already have a strong foundation for their respective ages. The camp will provide players with professional power skating and skills instruction. The camp will demand that players are hardworking and focused. We will provide a motivating, fun atmosphere while they improve their skills. We will incorporate small area game play into this camp.

Players must be accepted.  We streamline the skill level in order to run our program properly.  Please enroll for your age group and playing level.  No exceptions will be made for players playing below the A level for the REP camps.

Details of the On-Ice program are outlined below.  Each group has 4 days of 1.5 hours of on ice instruction Mon-Thurs.  I cannot accept partial registration.  Players must sign up for the full week (Mon-Thurs) to get the maximum benefit from the camp.
