curler from Ottawa

Camm is originally from Rockland, Ontario

In 2010, Camm lost in the final of the Pepsi Ontario Junior Curling Championships
to Jake Walker. When Walker went on to win the Canadian Junior Curling Championships
that year, he selected Camm to play as the team's alternate at the 2010 World Junior Curling Championships
.
Camm had an even more successful 2010-11 season. In 2010, his junior team won the Ontario Curling Tour championship. This gave the team a lot of CTRS points
helping them to qualify for the 2010 Canada Cup of Curling
. However, they were helped out by many higher ranked teams choosing not to participate. At the Canada Cup, the team went 0-5, finishing last in a pool which was won by Olympic champion Kevin Martin

In January 2011, the Camm rink won the Pepsi Ontario Junior Curling Championships
, his only junior provincial championship. He represented Ontario at the 2011 Canadian Junior Curling Championships

in the final. The teams were tied 7-7 after 10 ends, and Moskowy had to make a difficult nose-hit to defeat Camm on his final shot, which had to be measured.
