Does anyone have any insight on the following camp: www.o-d.com/It is a full contact camp. I am trying to decide on that one, or the Art Monk camp. Any insight would be appreciated Jericho

Offense Defense camps are like any other camp - they are just as good (or not so good) as the coaches who run them. Most of the college run camps are very good simply because the colleges want the rank and file kids to have a good experience (while the blue chippers are being evaluated). Private camps can be excellant or not - I've seen both extremes - because they are primarily money makers for the organizers. Don't get me wrong, I know there are great camps/coaches out, just make sure you check out the staff before you send any kids there.

I work at a college camp and I agree that they are good for the stated reasons. One major exception might be specialist camps like QBs and, especially, kickers. College camps are also much cheaper than private camps. I strongly believe that a young man (or woman, lately) should atend a camp at a school where he'd like to play. He'll have a chance to show his stuff and many players who are under the radar get noticed at these camps and get offers. Many of these camps have D.2 and D.3 coaches working there so, if you're not 1A material, you still have a chance to impress. Not good enough for them? Fine. You've learned some football for HS and consider it "fantasy camp". For a couple of days you got to play at Yomama U.
