WHAT IS
A TYPICAL SCHEDULE?
We start with Breakfast; then each group goes on a schedule with three meals and
lodging. Each group has two ice times, one dry-land, one strength training, one
shooting and one meeting each week day. Games are played on Saturday
mornings. There are 32 hockey related activities per week. The blend
of off ice training and meetings with quality ice time enhances total muscle
group development. The end result is a bigger, quicker, stronger,
faster, smarter and classier athlete. Below is an example of a typical
schedule:
WHEN DO I NEED
TO CHECK IN OR CHECK OUT?
Registration is every Sunday from 12 (NOON) to 2pm
at the camp. You can check in late if you arrive late due to
travel.
The Saturday that your camper will leave,
consists of a game in the morning and check out following that game.
Game schedules are posted on Friday mornings in the Pro Shop and are now
available on our website. You can then plan to pick your child up after
the game. Parents, friends and other relatives are allowed to attend
games. The games start as early as 9:00am and end as late as 3:00pm.
WHAT DO I BRING TO CAMP?
 |
Bring your own toiletries and personal items.
|
|
|
Bed linen (for a twin size bed) pillow and blanket.
Most campers use a sleeping bag.
|
|
|
Towels for bathing and swimming.
|
|
|
Clothing should be suitable for physical activity.
Sweat pants, T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, lightweight
jacket, swimsuit, tennis shoes and a pair of running
shoes. Make sure campers have proper running shoes.
There is a lot of running and jumping and the proper
tennis shoes will help prevent injury.
|
|
|
Full Hockey Gear is required. Campers hockey
gear will be left at the rink. Make sure they
bring an extra stick to use on the shooting range.
The shooting range is outside and on concrete so it
should not be a expense stick. We have some
available in the pro shop.
|
|
|
Rollerblades if you have them. Not a necessity but
there is a trail outside of camp that we use to take
kids to Nisswa or Dairy Queen. It is a great
opportunity for kids to rollerblade.
|
|
|
Fishing is available in your down time but you must
bring you own fishing gear. Some counselors
will take their groups out on our pontoon boat for
fishing. It is a great time.
|
|
|
If you have a FAN or alarm clock you might want to
bring them as well. Some rooms are
air-conditioned, some are not. |
WHAT NOT TO BRING TO CAMP?
|
|
Any electrical items such as cell phones, TV, DVD players, MP3 players, IPODs, CD
headphones or computers. MHC is not responsible for lost or stolen
properties at camp. |
|
|
Any weapons such as knives or guns of any sort. If we think it will
hurt someone we reserve the right to take it any. Not only that but we
also reserve the right to check any campers bag for weapons. |
|
|
Don't pack food. We have snacks and dinners available. Bringing
food only promotes dirty rooms and ants. We do live in the woods!! |
WHERE IS THE ICE RINK?
MHC uses the Brainerd Area Civic Center located at 502 Jackson Street,
Brainerd, MN 56401. It has two sheets of ice and enough locker rooms
for each group at MHC to have and store their hockey equipment for the
entire week. WHAT AIRPORT DO I FLY INTO?
You must fly into the Brainerd Airport.
Northwest Airlines/Mesba is the only airline that flies into that airport.
We have shuttles that can pick campers up from this airport ($25 one way).
You must make all of you own flight arrangements and call the camp with the
information. Visit
www.brainerd.com/airport
for more information.
WHAT IS THE PRO SHOP BANK ACCOUNT?
The Pro Shop Bank account is just that, a bank account.
All campers are required to put ALL of their cash into the bank. This
way campers never have to have money on them with the chance of it getting
lost or stolen. Campers deposit their money and can buy things at the
pro shop without by telling us what they want and we will deduct it from
their account. If a camper wants to go off campus and buy something
they can withdraw cash out for their trip. And if any money remains at
the end of their sessions we will refund all of that money. We
recommend $30-$40 a week per kid! To increase money in your kids Pro
