TANUGA HOCKEY CAMP

THE ULTIMATE HOCKEY & ADVENTURE CAMP

A One-of-a-Kind Summer.

An Unforgettable Experience.

At Tanuga Hockey Camp, we blend intentional hockey development with the adventure, friendships, and traditions of summer camp, creating an experience that’s as meaningful as it is unforgettable.

Campers spend their days training on the ice with passionate, experienced coaches, focusing on skating, shooting, small-area games, and hockey IQ while enjoying the full Camp Tanuga experience: boating, climbing, trapeze, team challenges, campfires, and friendships in a fun, screen-free environment.

Located on 150 wooded acres with private lakefront in Kalkaska, Michigan, just 45 minutes east of Traverse City, Tanuga Hockey is where players build confidence, sharpen skills and experience the magic of summer camp.
