Grande Prairie, Prince George, Langley, Kelowna, Winkler Manitoba
5 hockey camps in 5 different locations in 3 provinces in 6 weeks ... worth it?
ABSOLUTELY!
Was all the time and effort spent from January to July in prep worth it? ABSOLUTELY!
Now that the summer comes to a close and we look over the "hockey camp season" it is so mind boggling to see how God has used hockey to impact hundreds of kids for Christ. So much to praise God for. God provided for health and safety. One example of God's hand was in Winkler. Justin, an assistant instructor was demonstrating a skating drill. He is a big, strapping , Junior A hockey player and is a fast skater. At the end of his demo, he tripped, at full speed and went head first into the boards before hitting the ice. I am thinking, crushed head, broken neck or spine. Justin gets up with a smile and NO EFFECTS FROM HIS FALL. He wasn't even sore. This was completely of God, no other reason. He should have been taken off on a stretcher.
At these hockey camps we endeavor to combine a quality hockey and dryland program with an opportunity for the campers to hear about God's love in Chapel and team talks, all the while experiencing His love thru the many coaches and counselors. We believe this offers kids a unique blend of improving their hockey skills and hearing about God's love for them while having a blast.
We are already looking forward to the next "hockey camp season" in Summer 2008.
