Suppose I am 55 years old and in my 4th year of being an official will the camp make me a better official than someone else in the 4th year who is 28?
Suppose I have dyslexia will a camp make me a better official?
Or are the camps there just to make money?????????
If you have the desire to be a better official, you will be a better official. I have a friend who went to 4 camps one summer, he didn't get any better assignments than I did for high school basketball. But he did have a ton of advice for everyone who didn't go to the camp.
All I can say, is whatever.

Camp will make you better if you go there with the right attitude and put the information in perspective. Not everything at camp is only about what assignments you have. Sometimes assignments have nothing to do with what you learn directly at camp. I have gone to professional organizational meetings and just like in officiating; you get out of them what you put into them. If you have distain for the process, you do not learn much while attending those functions. Most of what I have learned at camp did not come directly from the games I worked.
