I've talked this camp up before....for high school refs that want to improve I still recommend the JB Caldwell Camp at Embry Riddle Univ in Daytona Florida. I would call this camp a stepping stone camp to either improve your high school game (my case), get seen by bunch of Florida high school assignors or to improve your game to the point where you would consider a college camp. I went last year and plan on going again this year. Camp is reasonably priced ($150 - 200 not incl room and board) and they dont expect you to work 7 games a day. I was there 5 days and I worked 14 games total, all boys varsity 3-man. I am an Ohio JV ref and I have already noticed a boost in confidence and ability this year over where I was a year ago.

Myself, I doubt I'll make D1. Got started too late. I'm 34 and in my 4th year. I hear they want 30 year olds who can run like gazelles. But you never know. I can run like a Gazelle....but I'm svelt like a rhino! (Unlike JR who looks like a Gazelle....but runs like a rhino)
