WATER. DRINK LOTS OF IT.
And when you stand at attention, don't lock your knees.

practice lots, and have a lot of fun! Btw which camp are you going too???? If its an outdoors camp where you play outside bring paper clips so your music doesn't blow away, and bring stuff that your already working on seperatly. If they have sectionals classes they might ask if anyone wants to play anything, and also be a creeper and look up history behind your teachers if its a big camp, or if you just get lucky, you might be playing with a professional player, and also be a nerd and take notes in some of the classes. You'll be glad you took them later.

Drink lots and lots of water...make sure you have enough to last the whole day. Practice your music as much as possible. If you can have your music memorized, it will make everything alot easier...even if it's not memorized, the better you know the music the easier things are.
NEVER FORGET THE SUNSCREEN...SPF 30 MINIMUM!!!
Just keep hydrated and reapply sunscreen at every break(and make sure it's water/sweat-proof). You should be ok if you just do those things.
Best of luck. ^_^

I'm going to be repeating some.
-WATER! WATER! WATER!
- Eat breakfast- seriously. If your band camp is as intense as ours, you'll need it.
-Don't lock your knees.
-If your gonna be in the heat all day, don't drink any milk products. You know what happens to hot milk?
-SUNBLOCK IS A MUST!
-Get plenty of sleep!

At breakfast, don't even have cold cereal. NO DAIRY. But you have to eat. Two years ago a freshman bass drummer decided not to eat breakfast or lunch every day, and he fainted every day. Every. Day. Pissed off everyone older than him.
Water. I didn't drink water at camp, except for like 3 seconds at the water fountain. Bad idea.
Sunscreen. Out it on every day. You'll get a tan even if you wear sunscreen. In my case, you'll burn even if you use sunscreen. But damn, I looked good with a tan.

ALWAYS have some water. If they have a soda machine don't always go there! WATER! WATER! WATER!
Also, be sure to eat whatever they have, even if you don't like it. It's always good to have energy.
