Every day there's at least 3-4 ID camps from all over inviting my son to go. Are there any camps like this that actually look at the boys and show interest in recruiting ?

Yes and no.
If you have been communicating with a coach and they invite you, it is possible. If not, probably not. That has been our experience.

If you are good enough to play pro, you go to combines and then are selected or you are bought from another club.
If you are on the fringe, by all means, pay to have then look at you. But, don't expect anything to come of it other than you giving some money and getting a practice session. The kids making the team won't be there.

I agree. I know a coach at a mid-level University and he said ID Camp's are big money makers. He puts it out there as an ID camp and he makes a significant amount of money off it.
Don't pay to go to anything.

If you are personally invited by the coach, or assistant coach, then it is worth it. if it is off an email blast from a list they got somewhere, don't bother.

If you want to attend that school, go to their clinic or camp.

If the school is on your list go to the clinic for several reasons. 1st you get to see the campus. 2nd you can evaluate the coach's training style. 3rd you often get to meet the players, you can ask them questions about the program. 4th the coaches get to see you play, where else can you ensure the coaches at schools you are interested in will watch you play?
Go clinics and camps at schools you are interested in.

Break out your checkbook and be a GOOD parent. Stop complaining. No one told you to have kids. This is part of being good parent. Don't you LOVE your kid?
