Its rustic, its not the 4 season, for kids its perfect. Don't expect cucumber water and French pastries.

My 2nd year PeeWee first time attending. He loved every minute of it. He couldn’t wait to tell us about all his new friends. Things he learned on and off the ice. Biggest thing he took away was character development. He said he can’t wait to be a coach/counselor some day. Great job, team!

I grew up on this ice in the 80’s and now my son goes here every year for camp. Absolutely amazing place. We miss coach Steve but it’s still Heartland!
