@anotherparent posted:So, this is really worthy of a different thread. But, who says that "college camps are the best option"? On this site, most agree that college camps are mainly worth it for recruiting if you have been personally invited by the coach (not in a "personalized" email, but in a call to your travel coach or someone like that). That's how they can advertise that current players attended camps.
It can be different for levels below D1 with smaller recruiting budgets, where camps can make a difference, but even they often cast a much wider net than just their camps.
Maybe "best" wasn't a good choice of words. In terms of financial cost, camps are lower than PG and PBR showcases.
