I would have to disagree with the notion or the implication that the A1 and A2 Dev. camps are "just" camps. Any camp is "just" a camp. The issue with the developmental camps is there are only so many quality coaches free (time), to go around. I've had kids come back and say they learned ton and would do it again. I have had others that said it was a waste of time and they learned more at the regional camp the previous year. Some of the camps staff is going to be stellar and others probably not so much. Ask questions ahead of time as to who the staff is going to be (and chances are, right now, they are still trying to figure a lot of that out). From there, privately ask questions of those who may know better and take their opinion(s) about the various staff members.

There is a certain reality to questionnaires and take this for what it is worth; a LOT of kids get them. It's a starting point and it's a good sign but it is little more than a questionnaire. I know 13 and 14 year olds that received questionnaires. It is not the be all end all to college recruiting. To that end, another thing to keep in mind is there are a lot of assistants and even some major DI coaches working those developmental camps. I won't urge you one way or the other, but I would encourage you to make a very informed decision on both ends. Make some calls, send some emails, get some information from the source and that should help you make a better decision. In the end, both camps want your money. If your daughter is driven, my guess is either decision will work out just fine for her.

Good luck!
