Re: Goalie Camps
Mitch Korn puts on a good camp here in New England, but it is a day camp.

Re: Goalie Camps
Vincent Riengeau goalie camp at NAHA (In Vermont) is very good. It is an all girl camp with two on ice and two off ice sessions every day along with activities at night. All the girls stay at NAHA. Lodging, meals, and transportation are provided and included in the camp fee. Shooters are collegiate level players. Goalies attending should be in decent shape. The first session every day is focused on movement with a lot of repetition and skating. Afternoon sessions are incorporation movement with pucks. Goalies are exhausted by the end of the day but from my daughter's experience, they make life long friends. She attended the camp for the last 4 years.
Here is a link to the camp: NAHA GOALIE CAMP

The Canadian Goaltending Academy is in Barrie, Ontario and worthy of consideration. They offer individual and group training year-round and is worth the drive. www.cangoal.com

The link for Mitch Korn's camp dates/locations is
http://www.mitchkorn.com/goalieschools.html
As mentioned, these are day camps, but I know families often camp out at hotels at these locations. My daughter stayed with a friend in the town where it was run.
His camps are big (ever see 30 goalies on the ice at one time in 10 stations?), but he hires and travels with his own crew (usually ex-students). Very hands on during the on-ice sessions (moves from station to station) and seems to get familiar with every goalie during the week. Great props used in training to keep it interesting.
What age goalie? Mitch will take them from squirt age on up. Splits up most by age. Some of his camps are for older goalies (based upon location). Many locations fill up in less than a week and he will take in 60 goalies at some locations.

Stop It Goaltending School run by Brian Daccord (several locations in MA - Tewksbury and Woburn)

Jon Elkins runs a top-notch camp out of Toronto. Extremely satisfied over the many years D has trained with Jon. http://www.elkingoaltending.com/

Re: Goalie Camps
My daughter has attended the Elkins camp and it is very good. One thing I realized that after dropping $1,500 for a week at this camp is that I could get 15-20 semi-private lessons (i.e. 2:1 ratio). If you skated twice a week, the same amount of money would last 8-10 weeks. My daughter improved far more with this approach. One reason is that the same goalie coach saw her over the 8-10 weeks and got to know her strengths/weaknesses. The other reason is that she had time to recover from each session. She even had time to play in a summer league game between sessions and come back to work on fundamentals.

Re: Goalie Camps
Exactly. Better off finding someone with open ice, or synthetic which is cheaper, and working on movement and technique over the long haul.

Re: Goalie Camps
We have been using a private coach for years and supplemented with the camps. The camps gave my daughter opportunities to network. Also, regular camps are good also so don't give up on the "prospect" camp. Princeton has a good one and they bring in a goalie coach to work with the girls also.

Re: Goalie Camps
Heard good things about this camp from several parents of players who are currently starters in D1. We are talking about goalies from Ontario.

Re: Goalie Camps
yes it is a great camp. Two of the 18U goalies from Canada have attended this camp. One is currently at a DI school and the other is a senior in high school, don't know where she is going next year.
My daughter liked the fact that it was all girls, but they were treated like hockey players, not girls who happen to play hockey. it is a tough camp, but well worth it and the price is great for what is included

Shane Clifford, http://www.shanecliffordgoalieschool.com/ runs great camps in Western PA (Pittsburgh area). They are day camps as well, but top-level boys and girls goalies attend. He has worked with Mark Andre Fleury, John Gibson (US u-17 goalie who won gold in the World u-17 challenge last week), Brie McLaughoin (US Olympic team goalie) and a couple of girls (seniors in HS) who are committed to D-1 schools.
