First off, definately no "yabuts." Listen to what your evaluators have to say, smile and nod, and adapt to what they want in that game. When you get home, you can sort through everything and see what advice you want to keep and what you want to throw away.

Second, this may have been the point of your post, but set a goal for yourself (preferably one that's in line with the camp's agenda). Maybe you need to work on your mechanics, or perhaps your dead-ball officiating is something on which you want to focus.

Finally, pace yourself. If you give 110% in your first game, you'll have nothing left come the last game of the camp. Obviously, give your best effort every game (especially if it's a tryout camp), but don't wear yourself out too soon.

On a side note, I just realized your moniker. Is this just your first time at camp, or your first year reffing altogether? That might help us guide you a bit more in what to be aware of at camps.
