This is your week
On the ice.
In your element.
Elite Coaching Staff
Founded by former NHL player Jeff Serowik, Pro Ambitions is staffed by elite coaches with college, pro, and high-level competitive experience, including former NHL players. A 5:1 player-to-coach ratio means every camper gets coached, not just supervised.
Boarding Builds More Than Hockey
Dorm life on the UC San Diego campus, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the college dining hall. Campers make their beds, keep their rooms ready for inspection, and do their own laundry midweek. Independence, discipline, and a real summer.

Personalized Player Evaluation
Written for every camper
Comprehensive evaluation
Every camper leaves with a plan.
At the end of camp, every player receives a written evaluation from our coaching staff: strengths, areas to improve, and what to work on in the season ahead. It is handed to your camper on the last day, so the week of camp turns into a plan for the months that follow.
