Dan makes a good point in saying that one should take what he/she can from a camp experience. That can also be followed with this thought: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." One may hear conflicting things from camp to camp, from camp to local association/conference, etc. It shows great mental processing ability and thinking on your feet to be able to successfully put things into your game and/or take them out from one game to the next. There is obviously a legitimate reason why a clinician or assigner asks an official to do things a particular way (at least in that individual's mind). Therefore, the camper or official must try to please the person in the authority position. This is a part of the challenging avocation of officiating. Congrats to all who attended camp(s) this summer or have done so in the past. It shows dedication that not many outside of the stripes truly appreciate.
