Did you even read the above? Ther person said the club coach also received a call from the school expressing inetrest and wanting the girl to go to the camp. This is quite different than just getting a blast email. Obviously doesn't guarantee an offer, but if it is a school your daughter is inetrested and the coaches called your club coach to express interest, you go to the camp. They will be watching you more closely. Of course these camps are money-makers, everyone knows that. But they obviously evaluate girls they care most about and have already identified before the camp as on their recruting board, plus your daughter gets to see the campus and get to know the coaches better which is very valuable if she is offered down the line.
this answer seems most likely. We all get emails inviting our kids to a school's camp/clinic, but the ones that come as an invite through the club's director are personal. They are from the coaches directly, and say that they've seen your daughter play, they want to know where they are at in the process and they mean a little more that those generic blasts. No guarantees, but as our club director said the first time we got one, they already like you at that point, just want to look a little closer.
