The Connecticut Referee Camp began in July 2000 through the collaboration of CJSA and the Connecticut Referee Development Program. The Referee Camp has been gaining more and more momentum throughout the years.

Both the Basic and Intermediate CT Referee Camps have similar formats. The camps are a full-time, residential camp that focus on game control techniques with opportunities to Referee high-level games. Participants are engaged in classroom and field training sessions that cover all aspects of the Laws of the Game, their application and use in various settings. The camp provides a professional learning environment in a fun and exciting way. Many camp attendees have returned as campers, as well as mentors, to share their experiences with “newcomers”.

The Basic Camp is designed for newer, entry-level Referees (Grade 8) who are serious about growing as Referees. Participants must have been certified as a Grade 8 Referee for at least one full calendar year by July. Campers will work with Mentors, Instructors, and Assessors in a cohesive, supportive environment, without stress of parents and coaches, to enhance their learning experience.

The Intermediate Referee Camp is intended for Referees who have worked a minimum of 25 games as the Referee and 50 games as an assistant Referee. This camp is strongly recommended for Referees who are currently in the upgrade process to Grade 7, as well.

The 2009 Intermediate Referee Camp will be held in conjunction with the Girls' Region I ODP Camp at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, RI. and will start 1:00 pm, Monday, July 13, 2009 and run through noon on Friday, July 17, 2009.
