The Minnesota Wind Chill Ultimate Academy is back for 2027, and we’re kicking things off by giving away one free week of camp!

The Academy runs June 27 – July 2, 2027, at Macalester College in St. Paul, MN. For six days, players ages 13–18 train with Wind Chill and other elite FMP and MMP coaches.

What makes the Academy different

• Pro coaches, small groups: never more than 8 players per coach (last summer we averaged 1 coach for every 5 players), with campers grouped by skill level, age and gender.

• More than drills: 6+ hours of coaching a day, plus sessions on mental and physical preparation and a film review lesson, so players keep improving long after camp ends.

• Coaches who know your player: full-time coaches stay all week, and guest coaches bring in some of the best players in Minnesota.

• Taken care of all week: a TRIA athletic trainer at every session, three meals a day, and air-conditioned dorms with 24/7 supervision for overnight campers. MSP airport transportation is available, so players can come in from anywhere.

• Plenty of fun: evening games, a campers vs. coaches scrimmage and a ticket to a Wind Chill home game.

100% of 2026 campers rated their skill learning and improvement “Awesome” or “Pretty Good.” As one camper put it: “Even if you are very skilled, this camp teaches you so much more.”
