Prince George Day Camp

July 19-23

Below, Ancel's ball hockey team celebrates its victory in the ball hockey tournament. Brian and Kaitlyn's team was victorious in the older kid's ball hockey tournament.

The day camp at Prince George was a very different pace than the camp at PRBI, so the HSOS team had a lot to adjust to. They stayed at Cedars Christian school for the week (Thanks Cedars!). The team arrived at the rink around 7:30 every morning to greet the eager, energetic kids. The camp was split into two age groups that altered activities throughout the day from ice-time to dryland to ball hockey to chapel. The morning sessions were dedicated to power skating with Brian Toll. The afternoon ice-sessions were coached by Parish Child and focussed more on technical skills.

Both age groups had at least three goalies with a total of seven in the camp. Tal and Jim (a local teacher from Pr. George) headed up the goalie instruction for the week. The camp also had the help of locals Frank, also a teacher in Pr. George, and Sean, a recent high school graduate from the area. Uncle Bob, a good friend of YWAM Hockey, oversaw the chapel services for the week.

One highlight of the week was all of the staff ice-time. After the campers headed home the staff was able to hit the ice three times during the week.
