"This is our second year attending, and our boys absolutely loved this camp. They learned new skills, had fun and worked hard. They were sweaty and happy everyday when we picked them up. We’ll be doing it again next year!"

"2 of my kids attended the Northerner Camp & absolutely loved it. They are both in different levels in hockey, but both learned so much. They learned skills of stick handling, strengthening their skating, puck handling and team building. I could not believe the improvement they both made from just 1 week. They said the staff was fun and so welcoming. Both my boys made friends with other team members from opposing teams. It was an incredible experience and we will be back!"

"What an incredible camp! My 7 year old daughter participated in the camp this summer. She had an AMAZING experience. The coaches are fun and engaging. The camp does a great job of building hockey skills and doing team building activities to make sure all campers feel welcome and a part of the community during their week at camp. One thing I also really appreciated about this camp was there was a number of female coaches. Having a daughter in hockey, this is not something she experiences very often and it was a really special moment for her. I would recommend this to any of my friends or other hockey families!"

"My 8 year old daughter loved the games, she said the coaches were really smart and nice. Really helped with her skating. The camp was very well organized with good communication and the coaches learned their names and formed relationships. All around a really good program."

"This summer, my 8-year-old son Charlie attended the Northerner Hockey Camp in Green Bay, and it exceeded every expectation we had.

From the moment we walked into the rink on Day 1, the energy, professionalism, and passion from the coaching staff were obvious. Gaven Bickford and his crew ran a top-tier program from start to finish. Every day was packed with value — from high-tempo on-ice drills and structured off-ice training to classroom sessions that actually kept the kids engaged. There was even time carved out for team lunches, which gave the kids a chance to bond and reset before hitting the ice again.

What impressed me most wasn’t just the organization and skill development — it was how much fun Charlie had. I honestly thought he’d be exhausted by the end of the week. Instead, he was begging me to let him stay forever. His exact words: “Can I do every single camp in Wisconsin next year?”

As a parent, there’s nothing better than seeing your kid light up doing something they love — and this camp brought that out of him in a big way.

If you’ve got a young hockey player in your life, I highly recommend checking out Northerner Hockey Camp — just be sure to register early. These camps fill up fast, and after seeing it firsthand, I completely understand why."

"My son has attended Northerner Hockey Camp for 2 years now, and he loves it! The coaches are amazing. They provide very high quality coaching and create a positive atmosphere that makes my son feel included and excited to work hard. He was sad when it was over and is already looking forward to next year. I definitely recommend NHC!"

-Kasey Black

"My daughter did this camp last year and just did it again last week. She loves the camp and all of the instructors. When I was bringing her to her last day, she was sad that it was going to be over and wanted to keep doing it. As a parent, I like that the camp is 8am-4pm while other camps have more challenging dropoff/pickup times. Also, it's nice that the camp provides lunch/snack for the kids...just another thing that helps out the parents. She'll definitely be attending the camp for years to come."

-Patrick Saunders

"We can't thank you enough for all that you did for our son at camp. All of the staff including Gavin and Emily took time to teach him, encourage him, and push him to do his best. He loved it and it was such a great experience for him. He can't wait to go back next year!" 

-Shannon Ebertowski

"The NHC is one of my boys favorite summer activities. All the staff our absolutely wonderful and my kiddos come back skating with much improvement! Thank you all for your dedication to youth hockey!"
