After attending $$ showcases, tournaments , etc, it was a 2 hour fielding camp (winter of son's junior year) with what would turn out to be son's current position coach that was the best $75 I ever spent! Good luck in your recruiting journey! I'm sure others will chime in.

Did your son attend this fielding camp after the school/coach had expressed serious interest? I ask because often when my son emails a school, he gets an email response that is really just a form camp invitation. I assume going to a camp in that case is unlikely to generate real interest from a school, unless a player really offers something pretty extraordinary?
