Go with an open mind. I just finished working a camp last weekend (as an evaluator) and I find it terribly frustrating when you offer an observation or piece of advice and the camper will not take it or will not believe that he/she does what you point out. Remember that the evaluators are there to show you things that you do wrong or that could be done better.
Remeber to stretch and to drink lots of water (cramps are killers!) Watch games that others are working and see how different people do things. Talk with the other campers (especially those from out of your area)to get their perspective on things. Listen to the evaluators talk to other campers. Listen to what is being said to you and try to encorporate it into your game. Try the things that the evaluators tell you, even if you disagree with them...you might find that their way is better. If it doesn't work for you, don't use it anymore.
Experiment a little bit, try some new things and be willing to make some mistakes. Most of all, have fun!
