When the idea to put two ice rinks on top of the garage of Ballston Mall was hatched back in 1998, the main goal was to attract the Washington Capitals as lead tenants and make the rinks their practice home.
But when the team joined up with Arlington County in a public-private partnership, county officials made sure the facility would not be exclusive to elite hockey players, it’s aim being to create more of a skating community center for the public to enjoy.
Eleven years later, Kettler Capitals Iceplex is not only home to the George Washington and Georgetown University NHL hockey betting teams, but also the unofficial rink of choice of six area high schools, several youth leagues, and numerous skating programs.
So while some choose to escape the heat in the pool this summer, KCI and the Washington Capitals are offering a wide array of camps meant to supplement the skills of everyone from those just learning to skate to high schoolers attempting to make it to the elite levels of the hockey world.
"Kettler summer camps are a great way for kids to cool off, have fun, and learn a new skill this summer," said Iceplex marketing director Racqel Self. "Cooling off from a deep playoff run, the Capitals have organized specialized summer camps to fit the needs of each camper."
Camp sessions are weekly and run from July 13-Sept. 4.
