Is Tampa Bay Lightning Fantasy Camp still open? Yes.
Tampa Bay Lightning Fantasy Camp is active as of 2026. Current schedule per the operator: Fall 2026 at Benchmark International Arena. Always confirm dates on the official site before booking travel, since adult camps shift venues and weekends more often than kids' camps do.
Among the adult camps we track in Florida, Tampa Bay Lightning Fantasy Camp stakes out the sports & fitness territory. The format is a longer, multi-night immersion, and like every camp in this directory it passes the core test: it is a programmed, sleepover-style camp designed for adults, not a resort weekend wearing a friendship bracelet.
Adults 21+ of any skill level get coached by Lightning alumni and compete for a Fantasy Camp Championship Cup on the team's NHL ice. Capped at 36 skaters and 6 goalies, so it feels like a real training camp roster. One of several NHL team-run adult fantasy camps, and among the most consistently staged.

The experience
Practical picture: the format is multi-day hockey fantasy camp. The longer format is the point here. Multiple nights on site is what separates a camp from an event; by day three the group stops feeling like strangers. It is adults-only, which matters more than it sounds. The tone of a camp changes completely when every camper chose to be there for themselves.
Cost
Published pricing: $3,000 USD per camper (36 skaters, 6 goalies). That is premium territory for this category, well above the $400 to $1,000 that typical all-inclusive camp weekends cost. You are paying for the specific experience, not the bunk. Confirm what the price actually covers. Camps in this dataset differ on whether lodging, meals, and transport are bundled, and that swings the true cost more than the ticket price does.
Where and when
The venue is in Tampa, Florida. Here is the current timing picture: Fall 2026 at Benchmark International Arena.
