I went to my first camp a few weeks ago. Other then a minor apparel glitch, I had a great learning experience. This was a unique camp where it was run by an NBA official, with NBA, DI and NFHS observers. I took a lot away from it. "Being Big" was one thing I heard over and over again and eventually someone shouwed me what to do to look big. (Even though I am 6'4")
While I did tune out the "you have to do this to get in the NBA/DI level" I was able to look at the techniques and positioning and learn a lot that will help me this year in my lower level (MS/JV) games. After all I have only officiated one year!
