Fwiw, I agree completely. Correctable errors are fairly rare. Concentrate on and teach the basics first.....violations, what comprises a foul, mechanics, etc. Don't get into other subjects until/unless your campers have mastered these first. If you do have campers who are more experienced and have the basics down, then you can get into game management, calling philosophies,etc. They gotta learn to walk before they can run.

Match the camp to the campers. Jmo.
