You need to have completed and returned the USJDP Junior Prep Camp Health & Consent to Treat Form, and be paid in full before your player can participate in any daily activities.

Of course! The more you learn the better as well.

A limited number of fans are available for check out at the front desk of the housing facilities. These will be given out to all campers that fly in first, and to campers that drive in second. If you are driving to camp to stay as a resident camper, it is advised that you pack your own fan.

The USJDP Selects International Hockey Tours are for current year Bantam AA and older players only. 

The coaches for all our programs are current NHL, NCAA or Junior A coaches.

All USJDP European Selects Tour teams will play local Junioren (Junior A/Midget Major ages) and Novizen (Midget Major/Midget Minor ages) teams. All teams will either be at the Elite or A levels, which equates to Junior A/Midget Major AAA - Midget Major/Midget Minor AA.

Most friendly games will consist of a 15-minute warm-up, three 20-minute stop time periods, and a zamboni break after each period. Sometimes, tournament games will differ. These games may consist of a warm-up, followed by two, 20 or 25-minute stop time periods.

All interested players must submit the online USJDP Selects International Hockey Tour Application Form by clicking the green Apply Now! button at the top of this page. Upon receipt of the completed application form, the USJDP will contact each players’ coach for an in-depth player recommendation and evaluation. Acceptance on any of the teams will be based equally on character references and player ability. These tours are for the dedicated athlete interested in the individual development and exposure our tours provide. 

Breakfast and dinner is included each day of the tour for all players. Certain team lunches are included depending on the days' itinerary.

All in country transportation is included and provided via private motor coach. However, if you plan to venture into town during some off time, public transportation, especially buses, are easy and convenient.

All players stay as a group with the coaching staff. All accommodations will have individual rooms that house anywhere from 2-10 players, and will be in the same section of the hostel/hotel as the coaches. Players may bunk with personnel of their choosing provided this does not cause conflicts or create havoc. However, this is not guaranteed at all locations due to changing room configurations. We will do our best to accommodate everyone's wishes.

Summer Tours: The weather this time of year in Europe/Scandinavia is warm during the days with anywhere in the 80-90's can be expected, and cool at night, especially in the mountains.

Spring Tours: Spring time in Switzerland is much like spring time in the Rockies, it could be 20 and snowing, or it could be 50 and sunny. Although at altitude it will still be cool at night.

As daily lunches are not included it is recommended that the players budget $25-30 USD per day for possible lunches, snacks and souvenirs.
