Day camps
For our youngest hockey players, we organize the Mini Hockey Camp. We introduce the kids to the world of hockey — and all the fun that comes with it. For the more passionate players, there’s our Junior Hockey Camp, where our master trainers teach the latest techniques and tricks. We challenge everyone — from the longest scoop to the hardest drag flick. 🌟🏑✨

Frequently asked questions
How is the camp supervised? Who is responsible during the camps?
Every camp has at least three lead staff members. One oversees the overall organization, including scheduling, communication with parents, and coordination with other staff. Another is responsible for food, drinks, and first aid; they will contact you before camp starts about allergies or dietary needs. The third lead is in charge of training and the hockey program. Additional staff are assigned to small groups and will accompany the children throughout the day.
I haven’t received a payment confirmation. What should I do?
Sometimes our emails end up in the spam or junk folder. Please check there first. If it’s not there, double-check the email address linked to your account. Still nothing? Give us a call or send an email so we can help you resolve it quickly!
Are there non-hockey activities during camp?
Next to the hockey program the camp staff also provides a social program. This varies depending on the camp type. For instance, during the day camps there's a big game everyday where the children can score points with their group. There's also room for free time where the children can play hockey, play games, talk or rest.
How often do children train during camp?
It depends on the camp type and age group. Mini Camps have two training sessions and two mini-tournaments per day. Junior Camps offer three sessions and two tournaments. There’s also plenty of free time for games and rest. Plans may be adjusted based on weather.
My child would like to come to a camp, but is too old. Can they still join?
If your child is too old for the Mini Hockey Camp, they can join the Junior Hockey Camp. From age 12, they are welcome at the Hockey & Surf Camps at Zandvoortsche HC. Want them to join one last Junior Camp with friends? Contact us to discuss the options.
My child would like to come to a mini/junior camp, but is too young. Can they still join?
Our website shows the age categories for the different camps. Most of the time it's no problem if the child is a bit younger than the average age. We would appreciate it if you let us know beforehand by calling or mailing, so we can take this into account.
Can my child be placed in a group with friends?
You can list preferred groupmates during registration. We do our best to honor these requests. If your child isn't happy with the placement, we can easily change the groups on-site.
My child needs a different clothing size than those listed. Can I request another size?
The clothing the children receive is available in sizes 140 to XL. You can select a children’s size during sign-up. Need a larger size? No problem — just give us a call or email us.
My child has allergies, dietary needs, or other special requirements. Can they still attend a camp?
You can note any special needs on the registration form. A dedicated staff member will follow up before the camp to ensure appropriate care and accommodation for children that have special requirements. They will contact you before the camp starts.
My child is a goalie. Are there special camps for goalkeepers?
Goalkeepers are also very welcome at our day and overnight camps. Please note that these camps are not for goalkeepers specifically! Please let us know so we're aware and can provide fun goalkeeper exercises.
Could I drop off my child later or pick him/her up earlier due to holiday plans?
Usually, it isn't a problem if a child misses a day. Please call or email us to let us know and include it on the registration form. This way, we can ensure the staff is aware.
My child is attending a camp. At what time are they expected to arrive, and when can I pick them back up?
The Mini en Junior Hockey Camps start at 9:00 AM and end at 5:30 PM.
My child is allowed to cycle home alone, is that ok?
Yes, if your child can cycle home alone, that is ok. We would like to know beforehand, so please note it during registration.
My child has a dentist appointment during camp. Is that okay?
No problem! Please inform us of the time so we can prepare.
Can I come early at the end of the day to watch my child play?
It's always fun to see how your child is doing. From 5:00 PM you're welcome to join. It is possible though that the staff decides to end the day with a game instead of hockey.

- Hockey stick
- Mouth guard

What will my child eat and drink at day camp?

In the afternoon there's another break where the children are served a warm snack and lemonade. For the rest of the day there's water and fruit freely available.
