About our camps
The UST hockey camps are thoughtfully constructed to help aid in the development of both individual and team systematic play. At St. Thomas, we also believe hockey can serve as a stage to help develop these young women into the next generation of professionals and leaders. Our camps are meant to accomplish both.
The goal of these camps is to broaden the skills and knowledge of the young female athletes under the guidance of the University of St. Thomas coaching staff.
Visit the University of St. Thomas
Some UST hockey camps offer a campus tour in conjunction with the camp. Due to the nature of the rink being off campus, other camps do not. Please see details on specific camp registration pages.
Compliance rules do not permit campus visits with coaches until August 1 following Sophomore year. However, should a student athlete like to arrange a visit to the University of St. Thomas on their own before that, they are able to do so through the link provided to general students below!
