Does anyone know much about this camp? Is it well run? Are the Minnesota College coaches involved? Are some of the better Minnesota High School girls attending traditionally?

where do the High end girls go for camps in MN?Pass the puck

Are you looking for just a hockey camp or a showcase? If you are trying to find an aggregation of high end players, you should probably look at the various showcases such as Selects or Rush or NAHA.

Re: Minnesota Womens summer Camp
My read is that some recruits & wannabe recruits go there. If Frosty has already recruited your daughter, and that's where she wants to go, then it wouldn't hurt to show up & have some fun. If Frosty hasn't recruited your daughter by junior year in H.S., then don't be under the illusion that she can show up & impress the Gopher coach & earn a spot on the team. Could happen, but doubtful. I'd suggest the Os and Os Prospects programs are better places to get your daughter noticed by more coaches. Os is development; Os Prospects program is games coached by college coaches, with some off-ice lectures by coaches on how H.S. girls should go about the recruiting process. Frosty has participated in Prospects in years past. There was a fall elite league a couple years ago in Minny that drew some D1 & D3 coaches...I assume this still happens. Of course, the High Performance spring festival & national camp is a big deal. Agree re. NAHA too.
Good luck.

Re: Minnesota Womens summer Camp
It might be a bit late depending on her age but the Community Olympic Development program has tryouts regularly. If accepted the workouts are intensive, both on ice & dry land over the summer working with girls who have superior talent so they are high tempo and loaded with skill and conditioning drills that have been developed by the leading people in USA hockey. It was very impressive and my guess is the girls there get noticed by D-I coaches.
We're 10 years past hockey camps so I have no opinion about good or bad ones.

If your daughter is U12 - U14 or just starting HS get involved with Winny Brodt Brown and the programs she runs. OS is her main program. Most of her coaches are Gophers or other D1 players who grew up training with her and now are paying it forward to other young players.
Is CODP still going on? If so consider but be very careful on some of their off ice drills - form is key.
Skating is the key to the game and if you are local to Twin Cities try to work with Diane Ness or her son - great program.

Re: Minnesota Womens summer Camp
We were/are in the same boat. So, last summer we took our two daughters and son to Minnesota Made. Simply terrific. Jim was especially good with the girls. At a minimum, it's worth exploring online. It's a money making machine, I'm sure, but my "slightly above average travel" kids improved like crazy. Money well spent for a change. Just another option to consider.
