I am going to a camp for the first time this weekend and would like some tips on what to expect and how to prepare. Other than the normal stuff such as call your area and listen to what the assignor is saying even if you disagree, what advice can you offer. Thanks.

devdog69,
Yes, listening is very large. Make no excuses in any way, shape, or form... unless they ask you directly regarding why you did something in a certain way.
Clinicians are basically interested in sharing their knowledge, not yours.
Be relaxed, straight profiled, and jog everywhere.
Be prepare to be humbled; that is why you are paying your (camp) dues. (We don't pay people to tell us how good we are.)
And, know that you will be a better official three days after you are back home and all the information finally set in.
