TYPES OF CAMPS
Prospect Camp: These college camps are used mostly for recruiting purposes.

It's a chance for coaches to see the skill level of each player and also to get to know them. College baseball is very competitive and scholarship money is scarce so prospect camps are a great way for coaches to see players and put them through various drills and competition. Players get to see the campus, many times meet some of the current players and get a feel for how they compare to other recruits and current players. It's a great way to see the facility and get to know the staff.
Youth Camps: As the name suggests these camps are skills camps for younger players. They are usually staffed by the assistant coaches and current players. These camps are usually pretty high in quality as most college programs have outstanding indoor and outdoor facilities. These camps are usually a great way for young players to learn proper skills and they usually get a kick out of being around the college players. Summer months usually run full day and school vacation clinics are usually shorter times.
Speciality Clinics: Usually for a particular skill and usually for a shorter time period. Most of these take place around school breaks and vacations. Schools may run separate hitting and pitching clinics. These are usually offered to youth and high school players. Some of these are skills clinics and some may be prospect camps.
