For 17 years, this cultural exchange camp has been offered to Minneapolis Storm kids. It fills up fast so register today!

 

Bandy, or Russian Hockey, is a game that is a mix between soccer and ice hockey. The game pre-dates ice hockey and is considered ice hockey's 'father'. The game is immensely popular in Scandinavia and Russia.

 

When: August 1-5, 2016

 

Where: Richfield Ice Arena

 

Who: Boys and Girls – Age 5-14 – all skill levels

 

What: Swedish American Bandy Camp – we will fly in three of Sweden's top youth coaches to teach kids the sport of bandy. Most days they are on the ice for two hours.

 

What Else?: Swedish culture – kids learn about Swedish foods, traditions, games, and more. We also take time to go swimming at the Richfield Water Park, play Mini-golf, picnic, and more.
