Summer Clinics

I am looking to enroll my kid in a good summer clinic in the Twin Cities area. I have looked at Proedge Power, NEES, Scott Bjugstad and a few others. All of their sites give extensive backgrounds on their staff, many of which have high school, college or NHL experience and they also coach or instruct at that level along with the youth level. I also looked up the programs at Minnesota Made but they do not have anything listed on their staff. I have heard of the guy who owns it but do not know anything about him. I looked his name up in USA hockey coaching and can not find anything. Does anyone know his background? Did he play in the NHL or college or coached at that level?
I want a good program for my kid so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
don't worry

Bernie McBain's programs at Minnesota Made are fine even though he doesn't have the experience it seems you seek.
There are no shortage of Twin Cities-area hockey schools. Does this really need a thread?
How old is the player in question?

Sure it can be a great thread. It would be helpful for anyone to post up which camps offer
most individual attention Even low staff to skater ratio is not indicative to attention. Was there consistent corrective action on players technique?
solid staff ... not just some coaches or college boys earning a summer living...
best value for $$ spent this one is very subjective, but insightful...
Most people can afford (both time and money) a couple of camps each summer. Pick the wrong one and both dollars and time are wasted.
If there are camp operators posting on this site they have nothing to fear if they offer good instruction at a fair value!
