Brace yourself for some pretty tough criticism. I went to a college camp last year just to run the videocamera, and I was "allowed" to attend the classroom time and step into the huddle when the evaluators were talking to the refs. There wasn't much namby-pamby stuff. In fact, it felt to sissy me as though they were going out of their way to find harsh things to say. It looked to me as though it didn't matter how good someone was, they were determined to cut everyone "down to size". Now that may be just the way life is. But I was glad I hadn't signed up to be a camper unawares. When I attend that camp sometime in the future, I'll spend a few days at boot camp first, to prepare myself.
