1 and 3 have the same answer, have a strong whistle and use your voice. Officiating is about two things judgment and communication.
Judgment combines rules knowledge, consistency, common sense, and safety.
Communication is your whistle, signals, voice, and your overall presense on the court.
You can have great judgment, but it can be lost if you don't communicate well. Conversely, your judgment might not be great, but you communicate very well and your presense gets you through.
Judgment takes time to develop and you need to officiate to get there. You can practice everything else off the court.
As for camps, research before you go. Is it a teaching camp with an emphasis on TEACHING, or is it a competitive camp with an emphasis on getting hired? Does it have several levels of games to work?
