What Hockey Camps Cost in Ontario

Hockey camp pricing in Ontario ranges widely, and the sticker price rarely tells the whole story. Hockey is already one of the more expensive youth sports in Canada, with families reporting some of the highest average annual costs of any sport (Aspen Institute Project Play, 2023; Hockey Canada). Here are the typical ranges to expect, and the extras worth budgeting for.

One caveat up front: every camp sets its own price, so treat the figures below as approximate ranges, not quotes. Always confirm the current fee directly with the provider.

Typical full-week prices

For a standard Monday to Friday camp, expect roughly the following. These are typical market ranges and will vary by provider, ice time and location:

House-league & skills camps: roughly $450–$900 per week
AA/AAA development camps: roughly $900–$1,800 per week
Elite & overnight programs: roughly $1,800+ per week
Half-day camps (ages 4–7): roughly $250–$400 per week

Why the same camp can cost more

Ice time is the biggest cost driver, since more on-ice hours per day means a higher price. Coaching pedigree (former pros, certified development staff) and small group ratios also push cost up.

Overnight camps add lodging and meals, which is why they sit at the top of the range.

Hidden costs to budget for

The camp fee is rarely the only spend. Plan for:

Equipment that fits, since kids outgrow gear fast
Travel and parking across a full week
Optional video analysis or extra skills add-ons
Deposits and non-refundable booking fees

How to get value (without overpaying)

Match the camp to the goal. A high-end AAA intensive is wasted on a child who just wants to skate with friends, and a budget fun camp won't prepare a serious player for tryouts. Cost is not a reliable proxy for quality (Aspen Institute Project Play, 2023).
