I live in WISCONSIN. Personally, I don't really have a preference on where the camp is located. I can assess the information once I get it. As for experience, I have only been a ref for 5 years. Most of those years have been spent at the Freshman, JV, and some varsity games. I have attended a camp every summer now except for last year as I was pregnant with my second child. ha ha I also did not ref last season either and want to get my mechanics back on track. I do a lot of summer high school tournaments to help me prepare but a camp would be so much more helpful and get my name out there. I hope to someday do college ball. So...what type of camp??? Well, beginning college or High School Varsity I guess to help you search.

Has anyone heard of Bruce Mason? I believe he's an official in Illinois and has a camp in August but can't seem to find any information on him. hmmmm Anyway, hopefully someone can get back to me about a camp. Thanks again.

Greta,

Your name sounds familiar but I'm not sure. I'm in Madison. I just got back from Step Ahead camp run by Dave Kelliher. It is advertised as a college mechanics and exposure camp but is also attended by the Associate Director for Basketball for WIAA who was there rating and observing. There were both mens and womens D3 Supervisors and assignors and one is an observer for NBA officials but in reality, most campers (at least on the mens side) were there for WIAA exposure. During the last 2 years, 16 officials that worked State attended the camp and since there was only 36 campers this year, that's a pretty good percentage. I believe Wisconsin will be going to 3-person for regionals and above w/in the next 2 years, so the 3 person mechanics are a big plus for that as well. If you want information, check the WIAA Bulletin next March for the camp next summer.
