I recently found this site and have found it to be a gold mine of useful information. Figured it was time to become a participant.

My 2013 son has begun to receive invitations to prospect camps. He is most likely a DIII or DII caliber player, but his academics are first rate. We are struggling to balance exposure against finances within the context of reality.

We've narrowed the options to the schools my son is most interested in attending. But, that doesn't eliminate the nagging doubt that some of the other camps may provide better exposure.

Any wisdom for selecting camps? Narrowing the camp choices without losing opportunities? Thanks.

Our 2012 son attended his first camp, HeadFirst Jupiter, Fla November of 2010. Excellent camp for those wanting to get exposure from top academic schools--DI, DII and DIII. Lots of schools, very well run and coaches interact directly with players. Not sure if HeadFirst Jupiter has openings for this years camp, but my opinion is you could not go wrong by attending this camp.
Thanks Bb4me. Unfortunately, Florida is probably not a realistic option for us west coasters.

Son has been contacted by Stanford and its camp is one that we'd like to attend because of the large number of coaches who show up. Didn't know it was a lottery. Have been checking the Stanford website regularly to find out when it will be held, but so far no info posted.

Invited to the AZ fall classic, but after much agonizing, decided to pass. Too much school work with AP classes, football and SAT prep course. Yeah, we know the AZ games are a great opportunity for exposure, but that didn't outweigh the other factors. But man, was it a tough decision.
