I keep getting emails for Jr. to attend “exposure” camps. Are these a scam? I don’t know they just sound fishy. Maybe a way for junior programs to find kids? I don’t know. Any experience? Some sound like they might be fun showcases just to play some games, but being billed as exposure seems a little misleading.

Not doing any this summer as Jr. will be a sophomore and moving into high school hockey next year and is going to his school’s summer program.

I can’t speak to the hockey version of these camps but the baseball ones are usually a decent way to get exposure if they’re being run by an actual organization. Lots of area scouts attend camps run by colleges and club teams for baseball.
