Camp Choices

[WhistlesAndStripes]

Chances are I'll spend a few days camping at the Russian RIver campground this year. I'll also camp a weekend or 2 down near seward at the Trail River campground, and probably Ninilchik for a weekend or 2. Sumertime camping in Alaska is the greatest!!!

Anybody have any recommendation for camps near the central coast of California that might be good for a newer official to get some instruction. Most of what I see so far are college level camps.

The two camps I know that gear towards newer officials are the Chico camps in June and they have one in Orange County also in June. The one in Orange county specicially is for 2 man HS officials. Haven't been but heard it was good.....

I've heard AK in the summer is something to behold. Looks like I'll get a chance to see for myself this July.

I strongly recommend Al Raya's camp at Illinois College (edited), held the last weekend in June (or so). The focus is on NCAAW, but it will make you a better IHSA ref.

Bob - just a clarification, it's been at Illinois College in Jacksonville.

I also agree that it's a good camp. All of the clinicians are very helpful and knowledgable, and it's a fun time overall. As Bob noted, the focus is NCAA-W, but there are also IHSA-certified clinicians there that can help you with high school mechanics. In fact, the past couple of years they have set it up where you can get credit for attending the IHSA 6-hour clinic requirement.
