Bill Howard Goalie Camp - He is the goaltending coach at the University of Wisconsin and has done a tremendous job developing goalies at Wisconsin to play in the NHL. His camp is half lecture and video and half on the ice, it attracts a lot of girls almost half - instruction is very much on the cutting edge which is sometime hard for girls to find. The camp is one of the early weekends in September. Woodbury tries to do a lot with Howard and his approach.

There are a lot of good goalie camps out there some cost a lot more than others, I have heard good things of the camp in Detroit lakes International Goalie Camps Tretiak(sp?)

Stauber's good 1 on 1 but you have to be rich to go there! JMO
I can't afford it.

the others mentioned too are good from what I have heard.

Behind the mask or Steve Caroll

I have yet to here anything negative about any of the goalie camps.

The schools/camps mentioned above are good choices. The following options have worked well for our goalies:

Steve Guider Goalie School
http://www.guidergoalieschool.com/

Run by Steve Guider. Steve is the Blaine High School Girls Hockey Head Coach and Goaltending Coach for both the Boys and Girls teams. Steve also is a coach at USA Hockey National Development Camps. Rating = Excellent.

GDI (Goaltender Development Institute)

Agree that Guider, Carroll and Stauber are good choices for skill development...I have watched the Howard tapes, good concepts, but complicated style to teach young goalies...it's tough to pickup in a weekend and outside of Howard few coaches know how to teach his techniques during winter months..It takes college goalies a couple of years to figure it out....

Guider and Carroll are both great camps...I have had experience with both. As a player and as a coach. Guider does a variety of movement drills every day, as well as about 6 different stations per day working on different skills. He also gives all campers a book of on-ice and off-ice drills to work on during the season. Carroll is also great, working on a variety of skills. He's been in the business a long time and knows what he's talking about.

I agree with previous posters about Stauber, Steve Carroll, and Des Christopher.
Carroll and Christopher offer a variety of camps throughout the area and throughout the year. Both seem to always be on the ice and have a knack for balancing "pushing your kid to his/her limit" and "progressive success". I have seen these guys on the ice with a mixed group (either age or ability) and each goalie seems to be getting a personal camp.
My oldest has done the one on one at Stauber and I would recommend it for high school age. Go try a session and then buy a package-bring your $$$
Des Christopher (The Goalie Club) also offers privates or semi privates. I can's say for certain if Steve Carroll does.

Yes, carrol does individual lessons...often they are done during a team practice..know a lot people who have used him on a regular basis during winter/summer practices with noticable results www.carrollgs.com
