All this said, I personally avoid any camp where there's one group of campers and there's no minimum experience level in place. Why? Because I want to go to camp to work on my game, not be paired with one or two newbies who I need to worry about every trip down the floor.
One camp I went to -- they took the six most experienced officials and made them group "leaders" -- I ended up playing surrogate clinician all weekend. I love being a clinician (and I've been one for the camp I just mentioned), but when I pay my money to work on my game, I'd like the opportunity to do just that.
That said, it bothers me less when I pay $50 - $100 than if it would happen when I pay $300+ for the weekend. I can always learn something in any environment.
