As a 3rd year official, be careful about becoming overzealous......You may be an outstanding official who can move up quickly, but don't miss the forest because of the trees. I'd get to some JUCO camps in your area. You need to establish some relationships...That is critical to move to higher levels.
I went to a D1 camp in my 5th or 6th year...It was eye-opening to the power struggles in officiating. Though I never made it to D1, I did meet some JUCO and D2/3 assigners there that I was able to sign on with after a short while.

That said, most any camp is a good camp...And I may be telling you things you already know.....

Good Luck!!!!!
